It's Tough To Be The Little Fish

by Bev Wall

It’s tough to be the little fish,

the smallest of the bunch.

The big fish chase and eat you,

very often for their lunch.

It’s tough to be the little fish,

so swim with all your might.

They could easily catch you,

so be ready for a fight.

It’s tough to be the little fish,

in a sea so cold and vast.

You’re only trying to survive,

so just keep swimming fast.

It’s tough to be the little fish,

although it’s fun I’m sure.

There’s lots of time to jump and play,

and really so much more.

It’s tough to be the little fish,

so you’ll be relieved to hear me say,

You might just grow up big and strong,

and eat THEM up one day.
