Pan Fish

A Chesapeake fish called the crappie
Is a tasty and colourful chappie –
Though spotty, this fish
Makes a succulent dish,
But avoid the small bones to stay happy!

I believe his Canadian frère
Is no whit a less wondrous affair:
For a real tale to sing,
Fish a-head of the spring -
He’s less tasty soleil’d in the ear!

In Europe we don’t have the crappie;
And our fish, though pan-friendly, aren’t happy:
The scale of pollution
And nuclear ablution
Means “Every fin’s going down ill!”
