Mocking Fish
It was our Sunday delicacy in lunch,
A dish of butterfly whole branzino fish
With cauliflower carrot and green peas.
I was happy to save money by bunking restaurant
With added cost of taxi tips and time.
Though fish in WholeFood are well cleaned
Still as typical Indian lady I can't but put again
Under the tap of kitchen sink.
I put the open mouth to let water pass to clean
Through the tunnel of opened mouth!
As ill luck it would have been, the tongue of fish was seen
I reviewed second time , to become sanguine,
Obviously it was as big as a human baby of one month!
Repulsively I tried to shut its mouth
But no doubt ,it was too obstinate to do.
I put it on the platter in hot oil and as I turned it
The silly funky fish sprang out its longer tongue
(Reminded me wanton boys of drop-out school-gang)
The mockery of dead fish from the frying pan
Thus spoilt to enjoy us the fun of Sunday delicacy in lunch!
