[ Line eater, where are you? We miss you so much. ]

	I sent a message to the fish;
	And told them, `this is what I wish'.

	The little fish's answer was,
	`We cannot do it, Sir, because...'

	I sent to them again to say
	`It would be better to obey!'

	The fishes answered with a grin,
	`Why, what a temper you're in!'

	I told them once, I told them twice,
	They wouldn't listen to advice.

	I took a kettle, large and new,
	Fit for the deed I had to do

		(and then they kicked me out!)

(I found this in my mbox quite some time ago. Any insights on its
origin? (Please, no flames, discussions to net.jokes.d or /dev/kmem
if you are root. Let's see what will happen!))
