This seems like another good time to ask for the lyrics to "Wry Man", a Newfoundland song about the miseries of being a fisherman.

When I was a tourist in the Maritimes I heard out-of-fish songs so much that I was tempted to write a parody:

Who killed the cod?
Who trapped the last lobster?
Why are the capelin so few?
It wasn't God
Or some Ottawa mobster,
I've got a feeling it was--

but at this point the song got too personal.
