salmon ella was a beauty <br />with fins so fine and graceful, <br />a swishy tail to die for <br />and her scales were really tasteful. <br /> <br />ray spotted her at sunrise <br />among the weeds and coral. <br />he thought she looked a princess <br />and who, with this, could quarrel? <br /> <br />but salmon ella scorned him, <br />'you're flat, such an odd piece.' <br />and there was ray thinking <br />he looked great in his codpiece! <br /> <br />but time went by and things got hot <br />and she slowly grew to love him. <br />he placed her on a pedestal <br />and put this queen above him. <br /> <br />they often went to his plaice <br />for some nocturnal fishing. <br />no longer was he floundering, <br />for true love, no more wishing. <br /> <br />ray asked our salmon ella <br />to be his life long fishwife. <br />the reverend mr sturgeon performed <br />the joining of the fish lifes. <br /> <br />then off they swam together <br />fin in fin, their happiness glutted. <br />love is blind, they didn't see <br />the nets. and now they're gutted.<br /><br />rachael richmond<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/salmon-ella/
