Commercial fishing and the Denials

By catch
A lot don’t know what that be
It’s fishing for one fish
And killing thirty three
Or four even fifty
Caught in the net
And just left to perish
Yes ringing wet

In Australian waters
Dugongs do swim
Turtles and sawfish
And dolphins
It’s grim
If you happen to be
One of them
You might be
By catch alas
Denials you see

Commercial fishermen
Just throw the nets
Into the ocean
Taking no bets
They want the Herring
The edible clan

Nobody puts dugongs in the pan

And only the fisherfolk
Out in the sea
Know what they catch
And so we must be
Installing cameras
Let’s see just what
Fisherman catch
To put in their pot.

Commercial fishing
Is wasteful in fact
So many creature the nets do attract
And those are thrown back
Dead as dodo’s you see
Yes By catch is wasting
So much of the sea
