any beautiful fish out there? poem from the archives by (me!)
-inspiration for this repost is the result of purchasing new ink pads, new embossing powders, new glitter pens and testing them out on my old stamp.. that, and an understanding that there are so many beautiful fish out there -part of school apparently. don't be a drop out; graduate with honors.
beautiful fish
swimming in the seasuch a beautiful fish
swimming next to me
beautiful fish
'til the fisherman got her
threw her back in
quicker than he caught her
beautiful fish
thrown back in the sea
swam 'round in circles
feeling ugly
"i'm an ugly fish
thrown back in the sea
i took his bait
but he didn't want me!"
hey beautiful fish
returned to the sea
can you take out a moment
explain something to me
why do you feel ugly
being tossed back in
but pretty on the hook
of a fisherman?
beautiful fish
what you're sayin' to me
is you'd rather be eaten
than swimmin' next to me
beautiful fish
if you let his bait flatter
you'll be cut. cleaned and cooked
in his wife's homemade batter
oh my beautiful fish
returned to the sea
you're still a beautiful fish to me.
