poem about a fish
My grandmother told me about a poem she's been trying to find, and I had no luck googling for it, so I thought I'd see if anyone here recognizes it. The line she remembers is:
A fish took a notion to walk from the ocean to seek the ocean blue
Or something like that. There were maybe three verses total about what the fish did in the ocean. She read it from a book in about 1947 in her seventh grade class, but she thinks the teacher had probably been teaching it before then.
