| Once upon a time,
|
| Somewhere in the Ocean somewhere,
|
| There lived a Fish,
|
| The King of the Fish
|
| The King of the Fish was not happy
|
| He wanted to be more than just to be the King of the Fish
|
| He wanted to be King of the whole Ocean
|
| He wanted power over the whales and porpoises,
|
| Giant sea tortoises,
|
| Mollusks, crustaceans, and all the underwater plant life
|
| And he wanted to own all the Salt in the Ocean
|
| He was a big fat pig of a Fish
|
| His greed angered the Ocean,
|
| But the ocean knew the Fish would never succeed
|
| Then the Fish learned to walk on the land
|
| He stood upon the shore and laugh at the Ocean
|
| He climbed trees and learned the secret of fire
|
| He took a job as a investment banker,
|
| And spent a lot of time at the racetrack,
|
| Playing the Ponies
|
| The ocean swore revenge
|
| Then one day,
|
| The Fish was vacationing in the Caribbean,
|
| Sunbathing on the beach,
|
| Laughing at the Ocean
|
| A giant Wave came and swallowed the little Fish up
|
| And he drowned
|
| This is the fable of the Fish that played the Ponies
|
| It is important to keep in mind that in this story,
|
| The Fish is not meant to symbolize Christ |
