Ode to Melanogrammus aeglefinus

Haddock, haddock, of all the fishes,
To me you are the most delicious!

Amidst your Gulf of Maine migrations,
You like to snack upon crustaceans;

You root us out from under cobble,
Then up our crunchy limbs you gobble;

You glut yourself with scores and dozens
Of my oceanic cousins!

So now I find that in captivity,
A most relished, though macabre activity,

Is, with the aid of my human captor,
To taste revenge that can't be apter:

When the hour has come to sup,
We turn the food chain down-side-up.

Haddock, haddock, of all the fishes,
To me you are the most delicious!
