Ze Poem Some people call it the flower of the sea But most fish have to disagree If you’re not a clown fish beware of its sting ` Those orange little fish don’t have to worry about a thing They come in orange green and even red Come near one and your pretty much dead They use their stingers to paralyze The tentacle swinging could hypnotize Fish like Nemo hide from their enemies While fish like Dory stay away from anemones
