Digital Wind Posted June 14, 2017 Posted June 14, 2017 My heart doth weep for a fish I caught. I cast my net and lowered my hooks, all to catch a fish, a lot. I learned how to from the old man's books, But I learned not of the of a fish's life's lot. The line tightened, Grouper large and strong was caught. As I dragged the scaly wretch from under the keel, The poor fish narry struggled nor fought, Twas' then my chest swelled and I began to feel, But I needed this fish, his fate was sealed. I hoisted him aboard and our two eyes behold That neither of us desired what was to unfold. His gills began to dry and his skin to crack As I grabbed my my knife, hook, and rack. Before then end the Quartermaster burst on deck And exclaimed we had no room in the hold below. I heard my heart shatter as I wiped my neck And I heard the poor fish give a low below. I looked at him, and he looked at me, Then we both slowly gazed to the sea. His body began to fill with joy But tragically my only option was to 'destroy' -The Poor Fish by Digital Wind, a True Story Please change the "Destroy" Button to "throw overboard" in the open world, for the sake of all the fish we drag aboard and heartlessly destroy looking for sealed bottles. 19
