About Fish!
They said
that I should read
a poem about
fish.
I wish, I wish
that I had ever written
a poem about a fish;
upon my dish
or swimming in the sea,
swimming up to me
telling tall tales
of Davy Jones’ Locker
and rare white whales.
So, where do I begin?
Sardines in a tin?
Pilchards?
There is a difference between the two – if only we knew.
I think
that
when a salmon is in the pink
it should be left to do what salmon do;
swim the sea to Wollamaloo
or Timbuctu –
isn’t that what salmon do.
As you can see
I don’t know that much about fish
in the sea;
but, here’s the rub…
they
know even less
about me!
