FISH, by OLIVER MURRAY EDWARDS
First Line: There are sharks that swim in ocean
Last Line: And red when they are cooked.

There are sharks that swim in ocean,
And sardines packed in cans;
There are oysters on the half shell,
Shrimps sizzling in the pans;
But the lobsters are most human
Of all fish caught or hooked—
They are green while they are crawling,
And red when they are cooked.
