I have a friend
Who has a fishtail for legs
It’s a massive inconvenience down at Tesco’s
And she gets quite
Squeamish
At the fish counter.
When we go shopping she doesn’t normally opt for heels
And she can never get jeans that fit
She prefers calamari
to cod and chips
If I’m feeling particularly mean
I push her over and run
I know it’s a cheap shot
And it makes her self conscious
But she always wins in the 100 metre front crawl.
And even though I think it’s odd
The boys seem to like the whole shell-bra thing.
Write in Colour 
I know it’s an hour or so late but I was busy being pissed. Written in the sunshine through the window of an East End Vietnamese noodle bar after a big bowl of noodles and re-edited now. Thanks Mai!
Brought a smile to my lips. Was running the image in my mind and did somehow manage to run it to the end.
