survival of the fishiest


Tennis player goes on holiday
Film star wears a flimsy blouse
Oil executive shoots gazelle
Scuba diver sees a fish
they have their photo taken 
by vanity-fair
Their story is written
by William Makepiece-Thackeray
And they inevitably appear on television
In a new genre of fish-com
Bending the rules of convention
To include consenting fish
Ride a dolphin like the pop star kid
Ride a jelly fish ride a mackerel
Like the offspring of a lawyer did

Write a poem culled 
from a keep fit manual
Biceps
Cartilage
Push to the limit
Sauna
Dum-dum-bell
In it to win it
Skin without blemish
Unlike the whale…

Let me see
what's through the technocrack window
Nuclear power
Criminals in kremlins
Musician arrested
Building number seven mystery
Wash(ington)ed over
Man falls over
Wheels go round
Invest in the Revolution business
for gross returns
Cars
Oil slicks
Where does it come from?
The wind
I could go on.
