Other Fish in the Sea

by Francis Hanover

The dreaming girl that I once was

Prayed out a common wish

To have and to hold

From a perfect mould

An exotic and beautiful fish

Oh a fish did come and swim before me

Quivering his luminescent scales

No words could I utter

For my heart was aflutter

I had found the most glorious of males!

I swam behind Fish through the shadows

But, Sun’s gold fingers the darkness broke through

And to my surprise

Sun pulled off Fish’s disguise

And revealed a Snail in the shallow blue

Oh how my heart did break at this turn of events

How the world heard my angry plea

But, alas …

Just for the halibut

Let’s continue to troll a bit

Because I know there are plenty of other

fish in the sea.
