Fishy Smell Is Not At All Me

There is one job I could never do
ever since leaving school this was a no
never felt any real direction at that time
but a fish shop job was never ever so

The smell of fish always put me off
even from a early age to smell
I just couldn't stand this aroma
fish and me would not ever gel

Today when I walk past a fish shop
just have to move on up my speed
so glad to reach another store
for to any other shop I'll take lead

The thought of handling these creatures
so slippy, slimy, and lengthy things
my answer would be an immediate no
foreboding fish thoughts mindfully brings

Fishy smell is not at all me
its funny as I don't cause a fuss
most foods I like even some I love
but take away fish or I'll get the bus

( This is written about the one job I could never do for the smell would make me run away)
