These Are My JOTtings, Part #2

Limerick: "Quite a Dish"

I knew a director, whose fish,
could sing any song he might wish,
but the fish caught a cold,
then off-key, I am told,
"Dearest tuna became quite a dish."

The director, he tried it, again,
thinking, "Twice is a charm I can win,"
but the cold of the flounder
had results not much sounder,
"I can't tune this old fish, that's so thin."

That Insanity's record is broke,
and determined to try's not a joke.
Off-key fishies can't sing.
"Tuna fish" is a thing,
but he didn't know how, this dear bloke.
