(With thanks to Helen, who has given me the means to get caught up)
Free verse by Maxwell McDowell
A starfish, however hard it tries,
Will always be undigested.
Does the starfish make you shiver?
does it?
The percoid fish that's really herbivorous,
Above all others is the damselfish.
A damselfish is carpophagous. a damselfish is omnivorous,
a damselfish is phytophagic, however.
The water that's really cunning,
Above all others is the ocean.
Now ingenious is just the thing,
To get me wondering if the ocean is artful.
Oooh, that's lovely.
ReplyDeleteI keep rereading this and making "does it?" more emphatic.
ReplyDeleteWell, I do like this.
