'A True Fish Story' Poem by Linda Winchell

The latest news from our, ” California Farmers”
Is that they are killing off our oceans fish!
So their State with help of Capitals Government officials
Have cut off water to their crops… due to this.

The fish are very tiny…and said to be on the endangered list
Because California’s’ state farmers
Are using way too much of this.

Not the killer whale my friend
Not the sharks or even the now endangered manatee.
But farms over three hundred miles from the ocean
They’re being accused of now
Watering their plants and trees!

So don’t look ahead this summer
For that produce bargain…to see.
Because of this we’ll pay through the nose!
Because our Government is telling California…, “WATER? ” NO! ”
