An Exercise In Bad Taste.
A rich perfume doth rend the air,
a redolent odour of burnt-out car;
and hark! The eldritch siren songs
in tritones echo from afar.
And as their sweet and searing voice
resounds I eat my mackerel,
wondering why the big fish
go running after small fish,
and risk a lot of smoked fish
when they catch their evening snackerel.
