THE ALBATROSS
THE ALBATROSS SEA BIRD FLYING HIGH AND FREE:
WE ARE LOOSING GREAT NUMBERS YOU SEE:
THESE WILD SEA BIRDS FOLLOW FISHING BOATS LOOKING FOR A FREE MEAL:
WHEN THEY SEE A HOOKED FISH FIGHTING IN THE WATER THEY THINK THEY GOT A GOOD DEAL:
SO THEY SWOOP DOWN THINKING NOBODYS AROUND AND THEY INTEND TO CAPTURE THERE DINNER:
BUT TIME AND TIME AGAIN FOR THE ALBATROSS SEA BIRD HE IS NOT THE WINNER:
WHEN HE SWOOPES DOWN TO SCOOP UF THE STRUGGLING FISH:
HE GETS HOOKED ON THE LONG LINE WHICH WASNT HIS WISH:
FISHERMAN FISH USING A LONG LINE WITH A BAITED HOOK EVERY 25 FEET OR SO:
FOR AS MANY AS ONE HUNDRED MILES THE LINE WILL GO:
WHEN A FISH GETS HOOKED AND THEY ARE SWIMMING STRUGGLING TO GET FREE:
THE ALBATROSS SEA BIRD SEES A SPLASHING FISH SWIMMING AND HE GETS MOTIVATED YOU SEE:
WHEN THE SEA BIRD SWOOPS DOWN TO EAT HIS DINNER:'
HE REALLY THINKS HE WILL BE THE WINNER:
BUT WHEN HE FLIES DOWN TO EAT HIS FISH HE GETS HOOKED THE SAME:
HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS OF THESE WILD BIRDS PERISH THIS WAY ITS A SHANE:
THE PRACTICE OF LONG LINE FISHING HAS TO CHANGE BEFORE THE ALBATROSS SEA BIRD PERISHES OUT OF THE OCEAN BLUE:
NEW LAWS MUST BE PUT IN PLACE OF PROTECTION FOR THESE VULNERABLE WILD ALBATROSS SEA BIRDS TOO:
WHY DOES MAN CONTINUE TO TAKE AND TAKE AND TAKE:
WHY CANT HE LEARN FROM THE MISTAKES HE MAKES:
IF THOUSANDS OF THESE WILD BIRDS GET CAUGHT IN THESE LINES EVERYDAY AND SUFFER AND DIE:
THE LONG LINE FISHERMAN CONTINUE THIS PRACTICE WHY:
MAN WILL NOT STOP TAKING MORE THAN WHAT HE WILL NEED:
NOT UNTIL THERE ARE STRONG LAWS IN PLACE TO PUNISH HIM FOR HIS SELFISHNESS AND GREED:
