A Minnow In My Soup

Waiter waiter!
look!

	but monsieur
	you ordered a minnow soup, n'est pas?

Waiter waiter
Not one swimming 
around in my soup
a brown minnow full of brown poop


I don't want minnow poop
in the soup

why look, its a bald beady eyed minnow
waiter! I swear this minnow is drunk


	ah Monsieur, we give all our minnows wine
	before death

Waiter now I know why Greeks
throw dishes at walls

I swear than damn minnow tried to write
a poem, what gaul!

Plato must be going mad
in his grave

	 Monsieur , can we offer you some Coock & Hen whiskey
	to drown out this bad taste?

"Not one swimming around in my soup a brown minnow full of brown poop I don't want minnow soup in the poop" ... parts of this feel like Dr. Seuss. You're a bizarre one, Art ... but thanks for the chuckle.

Unfortunately small fry always become insignificant in world politics, unless they are given some importance in order to be used as pawns! Regards // paul

G'day Arthur … enjoyed your poem, and it posed a question. Do sardines get gutted before being tinned? Oh well, I'm still here if not - thank you Arthur - Lindsay
