Fish Bones

Fish Bones

Mama, where has time gone?
"He went to the fish market, son"
Mama, when will he be done?
"When he finds fish without bones
Why such a sad tone, my son?"
It's because I feel all alone
Papa went to see Grandma
And Grand-pa at the Market,
never came back with none
How far is the fish market?
Is it near the playground zone?
Mama, tomorrow, we will go
and buy fish without bones
