Poetry
Fish
By Talisker
06 September 2006
Just playing with the word fish. 

Fish, fish,fish,fish,
Fishy,fishy,fish,fish,
Buy fish, fry fish,
Try fish on my dish,
Sell fish, a shellfish,
To steal fish is selfish,
He sleeps with the fishes,
So I sleep with his missus,
She shall have a fishy,
On a little dishy,
When the boat, comes in.


Fish,fish,fish,fish,
Fishy,fishy,fish,fish,
Goldfish, oldfish,
His missus is a cold fish,
Fresh fish, flesh fish,
Our quotas in a mess, fish,
Cod fish, an odd fish,
Catholic or prod-fish,
Fillet "o" fish is no fish,
Hootie and the blowfish,
I think they were a band.


Fish,fish,fish,fish,
Fishy,fishy,fish,fish,
Catfish, a fat fish,
I won't be eating that fish!
Batter fish, a fatter fish,
The plaice is a flatter fish,
Spear fish, they're dear fish,
You have to get near fish,
If its become your dear wish,
To have have a chance to hear fish,
They dont talk loud.


Oli.

Wow!

I've just reviewed a poem and complained about repetition of sound. 
 
It clearly depends on how you do it, as this is a fantastic bit of fun. Loved the rhythm, found myself reading faster and faster until I was tripping over the words. (I can't read poetry very well in my head.) 
 
He sleeps with the fishes, 
So I sleep with his missus, 
 
and 
 
Hootie and the blowfish, 
I think they were a band.  
 
- classy! 
 
All the best, 
 
Phil.

Clever piece tho I guess the rhyming wasn't too hard! Seriously though a nice light hearted piece of fishy fun that has to be read aloud to be fully appreciated i think!
