Today was the day I caught a Colossal fish,
And held him alongside the boat
Half out of the water, with the hook
Embedded in the corner of his mouth.
He did not seem disturbed in any Way,
I placed the fish in the water tray,
But as time progressed, I realized,
That I was not despised.
The fish gazed at me in admiration,
Like I was the director of his nation.
As we neared our station,
I delivered the fish back into its Abode,
Finally recognizing the inspiration
Of creatures.
