The Missing Fish Van

If it were not for life's little disappointments, we would not appreciate the successes.  The little band of hopeful villagers who were busy observing social distancing in the Queen's Head car park shortly after dawn this morning, were ultimately saddened by the non-appearance of the fish truck.  So emotional was this, that some residents have been moved to poetry:

There once was a Haddock from Hull

Who thought life in the ocean was dull

He dreamt of Hawkedon’s hills

But was sick to the gills

When his visit on Friday was null !

The residents of Hawkedon were aghast

And forced into a fishless fast

Cos Billy the fish 

Left a bare empty dish

Let’s hope it can be put in the past !! 

The final one is unfinished.  Any ideas?

There once was a man call Billy the Fish
A visit to Hawkedon our only wish
A recipe from Fanny Craddock
Would help us prepare the haddock
