[Here lies Joseph Redding, who gave us the catfish]
Here lies Joseph Redding, who gave us the catfish.He dined upon every fish except that fish.
'Twas touching to hear him expounding his fad
With a heart full of zeal and a mouth full of shad.
The catfish all mewed with unspeakable woe
When Death, the lone fisherman, landed their Jo.
