Something Smells Fishy In Here!

Today is number 23 of my 30-day quest to pen a poem a day in recognition of April poetry month 2013. With a mere seven days left in this venture, I am well on my way to completing my goal!

Today’s poem teases about fish odors… or perhaps that is aromas… You be the judge…

Something Smells Fishy In Here

Something smells fishy in here

Can’t be the peanut butter

It reeks more like a gutter

Stinks even worse than brother

Something smells fishy in here

Can’t be the fresh picked flowers

The minutes or the hours

The red raspberry sours

Something smells fishy in here

Can’t be my green jelly beans

Sweet chewy royally green

Spurs me to feel like a queen

Something smells fishy in here

Not folded paper airplanes

Not shiny clean windowpanes

Or rooster red weather vanes

Something smells fishy in here

Not pizza or calzone

Salami or boloney

The foods I eat smell yummy

Something smells fishy in here

Maybe it’s clams for chowder

Flounder in chili powder

Red salmon in wheat flour

Something smells fishy in here

Well least it ain’t potatoes

Just picked garden tomatoes

Or nacho cheese with bagels
