FISH by OLIVER MURRAY EDWARDS

First Line: THERE ARE SHARKS THAT SWIM IN OCEAN
Last Line: AND RED WHEN THEY ARE COOKED.
Subject(s): COOKING & COOKS; FISH & FISHING; FOOD & EATING; SEA; SHARKS; WATER; COOKERY; ANGLERS; OCEAN;
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.
