collegial rancid

the river stinks

we're the bad fish

we should have been eaten by now

a funeral could last

your whole life

with this much fish

won't smell a thing

it did for Qin Xi Huang Di

have you noticed the little ones

gone in the jaws of the greater?

it's happening all over the ocean

wherever there's sea

so schools will behave

not much use shouting

bring back the Ming!

they're superannuated

the little fishies learn from us

how dark the days ahead

Confucius said past a certain age

there was no harm you could do

and every fish must learn to smell

when it is truly dead

and meanwhile sink

or float or swim

or feign some other way

here – take this current

ride this tide

try to skip the rip

the deadwood fish

with arms and legs

and always in your ear

I'd like to be your crocodile

your simplest fish says this

smelly old ugly dead fish

to the fore

highly evolved fish take to the skies

sociopathic fish rise

you'll get them in the warmest waters

they're more dead than any others

listen to them drone

I'd like to be your crocodile

but they're just simple fish

Lao-zi wanted to fry just the smallest

that would do the trick

let's ask the fish all how they feel

shall we?

no that would never do

there is a rumour

we're not fish at all

but where's the evidence for that?

piranha you think are a myth

but I've been left just bones

a funeral

could last your life

the river stinks

we're the bad fish

we should have been eaten by now

I tell you all this in strict confidence

just one fish to another you know
