Catch of the Day

Catch of the Day

A Poem by Astro
"

"A satirical imagining of an advertisement for the current Pacific food chain because of an increased sadness and distaste with the management of the Fukushima nuclear disaster."

"
Satan's harmonica plays the sharpest notes
like the piercing taste of your turtle soup
....or is it shark fin tonight?

Whatever the marine menu being served up
the fresher the catch, the higher   the dose.

Government approved and rich in omega-3's.
high in iodine-131, cesium-134 and 137 too!

So mouth watering it'll make your thyroid sing!
And
A unique taste that will last for years and years.
