FISH, by SYDNEY SMITH Poet's Biography First Line: Much do I love, at civic treat Last Line: Thee and thy dainty friends to leave. Alternate Author Name(s): Smith, Sidney Subject(s): Fish & Fishing; Food & Eating | ||||||||
MUCH do I love, at civic treat, The monsters of the deep to eat; To see the rosy salmon lying, By smelts encircled, born for frying; And from the china boat to pour, On flaky cod, the flavour'd shower. Thee, above all, I much regard, Flatter than Longman's flattest bard, Much honour'd turbot!sore I grieve Thee and thy dainty friends to leave. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...WAITRESSING IN THE ROOM WITH A THOUSAND MOONS by MATTHEA HARVEY CANDIED YAMS' by TERRANCE HAYES DINNER OF HERBS by LOUISE MOREY BOWMAN THE BANQUET SONG by KENNETH KOCH SPLITTING AN ORDER by TED KOOSER |
