Interview With A Barnacle

You seem to be like a scab on this ship. Do you enjoy a nice fishing trip? So what do you do with your time? Do you like the taste of lemon or lime? Or maybe acidic things are poisonous to you. Do you like this boat, which is the color blue? Or would you prefer a cruise ship to relax? Does the fisherman here make you pay tax? To be honest, they do consider you debris. But you are as living as any tree. How do you manage to survive so long? Do you sing a siren song? So you claim to not have any eyes. I suppose I’ve never seen a barnacle blink in surprise. Maybe I’ll leave you alone for now. The fisherman is walking up to the bow. It sounds like you don’t like the attention. I’m a news reporter, I forgot to mention. Don’t worry, I’ll keep you anonymous today. And leave you to enjoy the waves on this bay.
