What Kind of Steampunk Fish

What kind of fish are you? The curious girl asked the mechanical bass.
We are steampunk fish, the bass replied, thinking the question crass.
When I think steampunk I think metallic, silver, gold and copper said the girl.
Aren’t you the inquisitor, said the steampunk fish, with his lip in a curl.

I can assure you he is a steampunk fish said another fish swimming by.
I know because we were designed by the same maniacal weird guy.
He did not understand that steampunk has specific colors I guess.
These pastels are irritating and grating to me also, I must confess.
