HOW DO FISH GET WATER OUT OF THEIR EARS

How do fish get water out of their ears,
If I’m a fish that’d be one of my big fears,
Maybe that’s why fish dart to and fro,
And, up and down don’t you know,
 Erratic behavior, until their condition clears.

THE PINK ORANGUTAN

One day after I had some beer,
Everything became real clear,
I looked outside and I could see,
A pink orangutan in my tree,

As I watched him from my little ranch,
He wound around on every branch,
When he saw my Steele glare,
He waved to acknowledge I was there,

The next day I could not see,
The pink orangutan in my tree,
My stomached ached and forehead throbbed,
‘My pink orangutan was gone’’, I sobbed,

At last I lost my very last tear,
Then, I realized my greatest fear,
For the orangutan had taken care,
To at least acknowledge I was there.
