Daniel Kelly Origins: That's a Moray (eel)...after That's Amore (68* d) RE: Origins: That's a Moray (eel)...after That's Amore 20 Aug 24


Adding to the conceit by Micca back in 2002:

The Boney Eel of Moray

by Daniel Kelly

In Rivers, and in Oceans,
Oh there had he been
But they’ve slain the Eel of Moray,
And they flayed him on the green.

I know that ye were Hungry
And fish ye did nae sae
But I bade you not ta et him,
Fae the price you’ll have to pay

He was a braw gallant,
And he hid within the stain;
And the boney Eel of Moray,
Ye should have let him laine!

He was a braw gallant,
With pharyngeal Jaw;
But the boney Eel of Morey
Will never swim nae more.

He was a braw gallant,
Ciguatera in his liver;
And the boney Eel of Moray,
Will make you retch and shiver!

Ye et of his body,
And now ye are cast Down,
By the boney Eel of Moray
For the hospital you’re bound!
