---- — To the editor:
National Marine Fisheries — shame on you.
For years you have been slapping our fishermen in the face.
National Marine Fisheries — shame on you.
You have proven to be a total disgrace.
National Marine Fisheries — where are those thieves among you?
Where have they gone? They should all be in jail.
National Marine Fisheries — shame on you.
There is something terribly wrong.
Jane Lubchenco, you finally stepped down. I wonder why?
Could it be that you do have a conscience, or —
Could it be that you did such a terrible job that your bosses said
It’s time to say good-bye?
National Marine Fisheries — I want you to remember —
Every time you eat a piece of fish
It was those hard-working fishermen that provided you
With this dish.
National Marine Fisheries — I don’t want you to be a snob.
I want you to remember all the fishermen in this country.
If it weren’t for them —
You wouldn’t have your job.
