Jellyfish in the dock Quietly guarding his spot An intruder drifts by With a challenging eye So he gives him all that he's got The quarrel to settle He showed him his mettle Caressed him all over With arms like a nettle The stranger acts tough Calling his bluff Hanging around in a bit of a huff He drifted off, he'd shown him what's what There was no doubt who was king of the dock- It was one of his better exchanges But he thought how strange for a fish, To have tattooed on his chest Good food costs less at Sainsburys

Jellyfish in the dock
Jellyfish in the dock Quietly guarding his spot An intruder drifts by With a challenging eye So he gives him all that he's got The quarrel to settle He showed him his mettle Caressed him all over With arms like a nettle The stranger acts tough Calling his bluff Hanging around in a bit of a huff He drifted off, he'd shown him what's what There was no doubt who was king of the dock- It was one of his better exchanges But he thought how strange for a fish, To have tattooed on his chest Good food costs less at Sainsburys
A tribute to the first poem posted by victoria on hp, which has this same title. A jellyfish in the dock Started talking a lot He said give me a mike, I'll sing songs if you like I actually know quite a lot
