I was trying to keep the cadence of the singing comparable through the whole thing. Trying to replace the correct amount of syllables was kind of hard. I had been thinking about this for a while so some of them were all ready done, other were tough.

That was the one I probably struggled with the most, could not come up with another good "p" word to describe behavior even though I knew it was an odd number.

In my it is one very happy pipefish.

I think pipefish piping is pretty funny too. Unless you like REALLY happy pipefish.

This is fantastic and really needs to be published!
