Why Man IB Llko a Fish.
A man is llko a fish Indeed ,
lie drinks llko ono and loves the wood ;
His joys a bait when ho Is naught
In scaly weighs. Ills lines are taut
In schools officious wlioro they say ,
Both fear the rod but hook-oy ploy.
Fishes nud mon both cro in solno ;
Tis swimmln' makes them that is plain.
Fishes spawn ova coats ; mon too ;
Ami when in pools they both shako ono ,
Both run for ollish at the poles
Then up Salt river go in shoals.
Fish go to son ; mon see to go
To "bars" for Vichy water , oh I
Both llko to Ho on warm spring beds
And wave soft billows for their heads ,
And neither ono will make a "rise"
Until they're forced to by the "flies , "
Both men and fish have scaly tales.
