Gutted

Disembowelled
Mackerel sky blue and light blue strips 
perhaps it was the zebra of the sea swimming away in haste 
                                     I was gutting one
                                     No big deal 
                                     I was learning to cook at the time
Inside the fish was a finger with a ring made of gold, but 
I vomited, and the master- Cook took the ring.
                                     The school is now a catering academy
                                      Teaches the same as before
                                      But academy sounds more learned
                                      A cook is now a chef has got a diploma
