Schubert's Watcher in
the Water
(To the tune of "Die Forelle")
Once in a dirty puddle,
there slid with merry
aplomb
the Watcher in the
Water,
bedrenched with
greenish scum.
I stood and gazed upon
the creature
and saw in peaceful
bliss
its tentacular features
a-bathe with joyous
hiss,
its tentacular features
a-bathe with joyous
hiss.
A fisher with a
firewhip
stood on the puddle's
bank,
and looked with greedy
eyelid
upon the Watcher's
prank.
O if the murky water
but hid the creature
for a time,
the fisher didn't
oughter
destroy its gentle
slime,
the fisher didn't
oughter
destroy its gentle
slime.
But then became
impatient
the greedy brute.
The firewhip became
sneaky radiant,
and ere I could say
"moot,"
the firewhip brunt the
thingie,
its tentacles nevermore
would squirm;
and I with weep-stained
hankie
bemourned the steaming
worm,
and I with weep-stained
hankie
bemourned the steaming
worm.
