David Crandall Poet Rhyme

New York Times Front Page

As I browsed this morning's science news,
what I read knocked off my shoes.
Now, the entire educated world reflects,
understanding now that FISH HAVE NECKS!
....and in the air, a million "What the heck!"s

Terry Flood July 12, 2026 at 4:41 PM Love this, David. I’ve been a bit ‘fishy’ all my life. The neck thing didn’t surprise me (we all evolved from fishes) but I enjoyed the consternation it provoked. You couldn't have put it better ;-) Terry David Crandall July 13, 2026 at 5:12 PM Haha, yep, it makes sense. It's just really hard to find the neck of a fish - lol!
