Compliments

A fisherman goes out to fish
his wife cooks up a fishy dish.
Do not forget the lowly worm
who wiggles but stays rather firm
without the worm the fish would stay
inside the waterways to play
let it be said that any worm
when out of air will twist and squirm
and also, that most swimming fishes
do have their own peculiar wishes
they want to swim as they are able
and not be served upon a table
so how about you girls and gents
we only fish for compliments?
