Ruffe

The Eurasian ruffe (Gymnocephalus cernuus), also known as ruffe or pope, is a freshwater fish found in temperate regions of Europe and northern Asia. It has been introduced into the Great Lakes of North America, reportedly with unfortunate results, as it is invasive and is reproducing faster than other species. Its common names are ambiguous – "ruffe" may refer to any local member of its genus Gymnocephalus, which as a whole is natively endemic to Eurasia.

Description

The ruffe's colors and markings are similar to those of the walleye, an olive-brown to golden-brown color on its back, paler on the sides with yellowish white undersides. The ruffe is usually 4–6 inches (10–15 cm) long and will never exceed 10 in (25 cm), but is a very aggressive fish for its size. The ruffe also has a large, spiny dorsal fin likely distasteful to its predators. It also has two fins on top, the front fin has hard and sharp spines, the back fin has soft spines called rays. The most obvious features to recognize a ruffe are the ruffe's large, continuous dorsal fin and its slightly downturned mouth.

She Cries

by: Rufio

come again she said
heading for the fungus road
one too many times
he's bitin you down to the bone
so you sail away
into the unknown
stay away he said
dont ever come back home
cry away the days the last so long
on the road she stays away
stay away
you can find me pain
that he left inside your home
fallin in the rain
your hole life has fall'n a part
so you say to me
into the unknown
stay away he said
dont ever come back home
cry away the days the last so long
on the road she stays away
alone she cries
use that inside
new look, new lies
who thought that he's that loser who once said
here's your kiss good bye
see this is real
she doesn't feel
lonely hearts
shattered dreams
there's nothing better in this place
nothing but memories in your mind
so you say to me
into the unknown
stay away he said
dont ever come back home
cry away the days the last so long
on the road she stays away
alone she cries
lose that hate inside
new love, new lies
who thought that he'd he's that ol' loser who once said
here's your kiss good bye
alone she cries
lose that hate inside
new love, new lies
who thought that he's that loser who once said
