He might not have been talking about a Sharefish specifically, but this poem from “Where the Sidewalk Ends” sure sounds like it:
DON’T TELL ME
Please Don’t Tell me I should hug,
Don’t tell me I should care.
Don’t tell me just how grand I’d feel
If I just learned to share.
Don’t say, “It’s all right to cry,”
“Be kind,” “Be fair,” “Be true.”
Just let me see YOU do it,
Then I just might do it too.
