Walking Fish

A Limerick 375 Million Years in the Making

By Ulysses TuggyPublished 3 years ago 1 min read

Once there were fish that left the sea and crawled onto dry land

they had children that grew legs, big brains, and thumbs on each hand

they burned forests to ash

and made mountains of trash

maybe things for those walking fish aren't going quite as planned.
