The fishes swam in a batch
Hoping they wouldn't be the fresh catch
The fish keeper opened the hatch
The fishes scattered and tried to match
The sunken ship's colorful patch
Some hid in a seagrass thatch

When the fish keeper dropped chow in the hatch
The fishes all hurried to make the catch
They each wanted the best of the batch
Before the food could fall to the thatch
Of seagrass that grew in a patch
The fish and the food made a match
