Blue-Back Special


A seagull clawed the rippled menu, and
decided on the blue-back shad;
a delicious delight of silvery scales,
terrified eyes, and a last gulp of air.

I watched it off the back of my boat last Sunday. Do you feel good for the seagull, or bad for the fish...

Hey, Pat. Good to hear from you.

Hey, a seagull's gotta eat. We have it easy. What we eat took its last gasp of air long before it gets to our table.
