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!
