Raymond Re-Examined

Clusters of refugee bubbles Expelled from the side of my tank Rise expanding in upward travels Escaped depths, burst at surface Forging against their vigour Persuasive stream broken by my bulky silver body Interrupting incoming ongoing Enthusiastic thousands Spurts of filter flung hum Tickle my sheer cycling fins Tell me to nose dive again Breaking trails of oxygen globes Until Billy Bully Salmon slices in Languid flicks follow frantic fro Gyrating spotty specimen vie Lunch pellet plops induce swished thrashing Tumult on top flung untimed as ocean fury Gaping lips capable of feeding incidentally Cylindrical home groans, crowded by peers Graduates from Tank Eight are due soon To meet with intention, purpose imposed Sight of orange net scooping candidates Occasions mayhem, frenzied to catch bus I surge with the fastest, fattest prime For my place in net destiny Overexposed oxygen exhausts me Begins cressendo to deliver my bounty Dry eyed tribute to nurtured practice honed My splatting undulations boast industry success Cod calls me to lemon rained plate haven Farmed fellows raised by deliberation Egg nursery, microscopic sluge whirls Infuse infant entire crew with dedication To feed, to fulfil, crisp silver skin served If you think eating me equals ocean depletion You'll be pleased to imbibe controlled science Take it from me, fat salmon, Raymond I am desperate to get in your gut! My reason for existence is to be ravished Don't reject majestic fish - re-examine The pearly peach flesh down throat glide Indulge charitable fridge wrapped salmon
