Fish On Dry Land Poem by Barry Middleton

I'm a fish on dry land (chorus)
please lend me a hand
I'm not gonna last very long
all I ask of my god
is to give me a prod
and let me write one more song

I am flopping around
down here on the ground
I gotta get back to my stream
if I can just get a hand
I have still got a plan
and I want to be living the dream

that is all that life is
it can give you the biz
but I won't let it get me down
I'm a fish on dry land
get me out of the sand
‘cause you know that I ain't gonna drown

I am happy down there
and without any care
and if a lady fish comes along
then I'll buy her a drink
and I'll give her a wink
and maybe we will swim off and spawn

I'm a fish on dry land (chorus)
please lend me a hand
I'm not gonna last very long
all I ask of my god
is to give me a prod
and let me write one more song
