Salford, 6th March 2020
Oh, what a wondrous life you must have led
swimming up and down the waters of the British isles
caught in the sailors net and frozen
before meeting a factory bandsaw
Brought back to life in the kitchen by butter and oil
dressed in lemon , dill and breadcrumbs
or even the chefs special batter
sharing a spot with potatoes and peas
roasted mashed or fried ?
while escapees swim free for the day
you put a smile on the customers face
as you’re devoured alongside your side platters
with a drop of tartar sauce
The Inkwell
