The Twelve Days of Fishmas
An Angler’s Carol
--
On the twelfth day of Fishmas my true love gave to me…
Twelve drumfish drumming
Eleven stripers eeling
Ten kings a leaping
Nine oysters setting
Eight trout a milting
Seven shad migrating
Six bluefish biting
Five dor-a-do
Four arctic char
Three tautog
Two amberjack
And a clam bed in the wind’s lee
