Do You Like it Raw?

So how do you like your sushi
just sashimi on a plate?

or do you prefer it wrapped in nori?
decorated with microgreens and eggs?

And is there wasabi?
that heat to the tongue?
just a dash or a dab?
Does it make your nose run?

Do you dip in soy?
or is it the modern aminos?
without that salty it seems a bit drab....

Do you like your fish as an appetizer to your meal
or can it be the main course?

Do you want a bit of surf and turf
alternating between beef and fish
culinary exertion almost unreal?

Start with seaweed salad, edamame or just some simple hot green tea?

And is it chopsticks or handrolls?
or do you eat with your hands?
Are there other accompanying tricks?

I long to hear of your distinguishing traits
as you tempt me with your stories and wit

So tell me your tales of sushi
and I will tell you mine

And then perhaps we shall have some saki 
and find another way to pass the time
