Not For Me

Taramasalata, not for me
Ground up fishes eggs
Looks like something that should be
Smeared on face or legs

Taramasalata, not for me
Sure ain’t finger lickin’
The only eggs I have for tea 
Come out of a chicken

Taramasalata, not for me
Though I do like fish
Throw their eggs back in the sea
It’s one repugnant dish

Taramasalata, not for me
Bring another starter
That looks nice, what might it be
Taramasalata!

Pretty unny and educational, Terry. In East Asian language TARAMASALATA is delicious fish eggs? Please, would you read and comment on one of my poems? ThanX

Hi Anil. Visited your page and read some of your poems. Unfortunately, religion leaves me cold so I feel any comment I made would be less than genuine. This is no reflection on your poems which, I’m sure to someone of like mind, would be well received. Terry
