When
Cabot crossed the raging Main,
Cod
in commons sight were plain.
But
avarice - human greed
Caught
King Cod to paltry breed
And
Fish for food was sought in vain.
They
said the Cod are back again:
Pre-spawning!
- (3PS) catch campaign!!
Over
grounds that Codfish seed,
An
echo of the inane deed
Caused
Newfoundland to pain.
With
modern ways, pre-eggs rain,
To
fish the Fish leads refrain:
‘No
Fish to fish.’ They pay no heed
To
nature’s ways. - Let Fish breed
To
chance increase in shoals again. *
Lip
service only: "stocks sustain"
All
climb aboard a gravy train.
No
thought of future mouths to feed
Around
the Bay. Indeed:
Mindless
repeat defines insane.
