One day my son Brad showed up with a bag of fish. This one is for him...

Eight fish inside a bag of water,
A smiling ten year old.

Thought he'd been at his friend's house,
But no, he was buying fish, the toad!

"Where did you get the money?"
"Took back some bottles," he said.

"When did I say you could get some fish?"
"You didn't," he answered, face red.

The scene was not a pleasant one.
Mother and son yelled and yelled.

When Dad came home, the fish went back,
No money, no fish, no way to tell.

That eight fish inside a bag of water,
Came into the house that day.

But son did learn a lesson,
Not asking parents, doesn't pay!
