On the twelfth day of Christmas, a freighter sent to me
Twelve quaggas clogging
‘Leven gobies gobbling
Ten alewives croaking
Nine eggs in resting
Eight shrimp a’swarming
Seven carp and counting
Six lamprey leaping
Five boat-wash stations!
Four perch on ice
Three clean boat steps
Two red swamp crayfish
And a carp barrier in the city!
Check out the full version for details on each aquatic invasive.
And a flyin carp stuck in a treeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
