Au Revoir-The Fish Poem by Stephen Brian Brady

remembering the way he'd defied nature
by unfishingly lying on his side

then in prolonged suspended animation
we marvelled he was hanging-on

now the fish had slipped his scales
and with a slomo swish of fin and tail he'd gone

plunged deep into his watery world
and as the echos of his magic singing there unfurled

are uncertain how to handle
the message on the phone

this is only Au revoir
remember the good times
now you're on you own
