Steve and Peter - a tale of two fish(es)
it's strange how fish behave
in water and on track
and how they take the brave
leaving us in lack
the tail of one so obvious
took steve right in the heart
and left a gap for all of us
no one can play that part
the other tail a strange old name
when cars swerve on the dirt
and brocky left us just the same
with death they both did flirt
so let us beware of fish
and their tales of woe and shock
and make a silent secret wish
for our friends irwin and brock
For Steve Irwin and Peter Brock - two Aussie blokes
(13 September 2006)

Fish with no tail
as i gaze out of nature... i have seen a fish without a tail
impossible but its true, first things came up to my mind
is, ask whether its worth to give time to remember all
the scene or perhaps, just a memories of a simple
goodbye
as the fish swim, deep beneath the crystal blue water, i
couldn't remember the minutes, the hours past, nay i felt
that i haven't taken my meal, it seems all are just a blink
of a second in my eyes
it keeps on bubbling, even in a thousands seconds it
stay in the water, until i notice that the fish fail to surface
beneath the running water, for the absence of the tail
the body is nothing
all is just a mirror of a fish that, every movement of the
body, the twist of the tail has to follow, its a paradox to
believe that we see the tail of other fish, nay never we
saw that we don't have tail of our own
like the fish it swim, with no direction, only an inspiration
that we can do, yet as it goes there we go, tail that swim
in the water stream with no affection of what to do
now i see, how to swim, in water, lou! where i may go...in
the world of stream when everybody is frame......

The Crocodile Hunter
When you met him in person,
He would just turn and say,
I'd rather meet animals,
So crikey and g'day.
When his animals saw him,
They would all run and scatter,
For they just couldn't bear,
His fair dinkum patter.
All joking aside,
When he's put to the test,
There was nobody better,
Steve Irwin's the best.
Steve treated all animals,
With the utmost respect,
His efforts to save them,
Will have a lasting effect.
Whether living on land,
Or under the sea,
Steve showed us how,
We could all be set free.
He brought to the world,
An insatiable need,
To understand animals,
His warnings we must heed.
He gave us an insight,
Into animal behaviour,
He taught us how united,
We can be each others saviour.
We must live and let live,
If this doesn't apply,
We'll be in mortal danger,
Our planet will die.
By nurturing all life,
We could then ensure,
A future for all,
Prevention not cure.
Endangered species,
Steve strived to save,
In his quest for knowledge,
His own life he gave.
As for his wife and children,
They must never forget,
We owe Steve and his ideals,
a tremendous debt.
His work will live on,
Through his family and friends,
They will try to ensure,
Steve's work never ends.
His legacy must be,
That all life will remain,
His unfinished task,
Is for all life to to sustain.
Steve Irwin the man,
Was an extraordinary punter,
He'll forever be remembered as,
'' The Crocodile Hunter ''

A fish that drinks like a fish, that is a fish in excess
A fish that fishes in troubled waters, that is a fish taking advantage of another fish in trouble
A fish that fishes or cuts bait, well, to be or not to be, to retreat or to attack, that is the fishy question
A fish that is neither fish nor fowl, is a fish that is neither one nor the other, lacking some convictions
A fish out of water, is a fish feeling left out, no longer in his accustomed environment
Do you have other fish to fry for now?
Is there other matter requiring my attention?
Poor fish,
the lake is finally fished out from his fishy mind.

Some things that can happen with a fish
A fish that drinks like a fish, that is a fish in excess
A fish that fishes in troubled waters, that is a fish taking advantage of another fish in trouble
A fish that fishes or cuts bait, well, to be or not to be, to retreat or to attack, that is the fishy question
A fish that is neither fish nor fowl, is a fish that is neither one nor the other, lacking some convictions
A fish out of water, is a fish feeling left out, no longer in his accustomed environment
Do you have other fish to fry for now?
Is there other matter requiring my attention?
Poor fish,
the lake is finally fished out from his fishy mind.

Fish Out Of Water
I feel so out of place here
With this high society
These high fallutin people
Dont know what to make of me
I feel like a minnow in a sea of moby dicks
A small fry in a big pan
Theyre caviar -- Im fish sticks
Fish out of water
I know I dont belong
Fish out of water
Everything I do is wrong
My style of hair, the clothes I wear
The way I speak, the things I eat
The way I act, my lack of tact
Nothin seems to fit
Fish out of water
Flounderin round
Out of my element
But Im just as good as they are
Why do I feel second rate
Its like, sorry charlie,
We want only tuna with good taste
I guess you could say wal-mart
Is quite a way from guccis
Im timex, theyre rolex
Im captain ds, theyre sushi
Fish out of water
Ive had it to the gills
Fish out of water
With these yuppie-guppie frills
Yeah, Im a square in a round hole
A catfish in a goldfish bowl
A little fish with lots of soul
Out of my element
Fish out of water
Flounderin round just for the halibut
Save me, save me
S.o.s. somebody
Save me, save me
Somebody rescue me
Fish out of water
Somebody throw me in
Fish out of water
On a scale of one to ten
Im a two, perhaps a three
Compared to the big fish in the sea
Im washed ashore so save me please
Im in an awful fix
Fish out of water
Rescue me
And you better do it quick
Fish out of water
Its such a culture shock
Fish out of water
My stomachs tied in knots
Fish out of water
Fish out of water

The frog
Frog is neither fish to live in water
Nor a mammal to live on lands either.
It is an amphibian to love both.
Frog is not like us to have its baby
Look like its father in shape and habit.
Its child is a fish with its tail and gills.
Frog is a martyr to humanity.
We dissect it to learn anatomy.
To test mankind we kill animals, ho.
