"Macky" ( is a fish parable)




who eats a whole rat gnawed down to the bristly bone
 is the same that swims in cold pink;

screwing the mouth to the side, he sends a sin streaming
 out of its guts on a lovely 'lil bubble; 
         
nor if he's ever caught on a pike's discarded lure,
 eyes poked through,will he ask for grace

For down in the deep end of every lake, among the tads,
 stoked and powered by a profligate few

a sinning macky, driven by spite!, will nip at the eel,
 even before the tides turn his face

back out towards weeds & rusty hulls But a scaly sot
 born to eat silt, likes to creep low,

like a creepy mouth-piece for a world of crud!
