The Mock Toadfish's Song

Written by Sibling Alpaca the Indefinite

This was originally written for the "Sibling Below Me" thread in the forums, when Swatopluk said that the Sibling below him would now sing the song of the Mock Toadfish. I turned out to be that Sibling. Apologies to Lewis Carrol. "Will you rumble a tad louder?" Said a toadfish to friend, "It's quite difficult to hear you When we're swimming end-to-end. For I am in a hurry - Oh, c'mon, take a chance! - They are waiting in the tidepool - Will you come and join the dance? Will you, won't you, will you, Won't you, will you join the dance? Will you, won't you, will you, Won't you, won't you join the dance? "For the bottom is quite sandy And won't hurt you if you fall. And the Toadfish are all intoxicated merry, Good times will be had by all!" But the friend looked off to Valley Koom And gave a sidelong glance, Mumbled something rather vaguely, Said he would not join the dance. Would not, could not, would not, Could not, would not join the dance. Would not, could not, would not, Could not, could not join the dance. "Forget that other place, my friend," The Toadfish did call back. "The pirates here are just as kind! What's more, the grog won't lack. Swim far away from Omnia, Float in here, take a chance! Rumble in the reef, dear friend, And come and join our dance. Will you, won't you, will you, Won't you, will you join the dance? Will you, won't you, will you, Won't you, won't you join the dance?"
