LOCAL FISHERMAN AND A DOLPHIN
The fisherman reeled in the netThe net look full , profit was goner
Be be good , he and his crew smiled
With expectations high
The net had been left out all night to catch fish and all
As the net landed on board their fishing boat
They they saw a dolphin in the net
The skipper reached for his knife
And set to , to freeing the dolphin , his efforts were all in vain
The dolphin had died , in it's panicked it had twisted it self
Snarling it's self more and more in the net
The skipper were a hard man , had to be , his work made him so
But the dolphin , showed his inner self
That he could not control or temper down
He cut , uttering , soft soothing words , as he did so
His fingers moving fast , cutting away the net , to free the trapped dolphin
When the dolphin was freed , by he , the dolphin clearly dead
He pushed the dead dolphin overboard , with a boat hook
Sent the dolphin to the deep
The crew could see tears in his eyes , none said out , for they know
They would be joining the dolphin if any did utter a word
''Right lads '' , '' lets get back to Ramsgate '' , '' got to mend the fooking net! ''
The net was brand new , cost £7 ,000 , the net could be repaired
The dolphin would swim no more
