Go Fish
I’ve played this game before
Caught me one to sustain me for a year
Now I’m casting my line in the most ambitious pond, the ocean
I haven’t eaten in a week, why aren’t they biting?
Is my bait not good enough?
Is it because I cut my hair?
I never thought I’d have such trouble finding a mermaid
I mean, I look like one of them
It’s true then
Mermaids only kill the pretty ones
Caught me one to sustain me for a year
Now I’m casting my line in the most ambitious pond, the ocean
I haven’t eaten in a week, why aren’t they biting?
Is my bait not good enough?
Is it because I cut my hair?
I never thought I’d have such trouble finding a mermaid
I mean, I look like one of them
It’s true then
Mermaids only kill the pretty ones
