when he opts for the obvious again
this time I think will be the time
I finally pipe up and say what needs saying
that while I hope this fish dinner
satisfies you the taste of the sea creature
on your lips that salt and vinegar mixture
it ought to be me next to you on the sofa
smiling or laughing at some ****** TV repeat
fork skewering the gone soggy chips
tips of our fingers stricken with grease
but worth it because our hands
will be a ruler’s width apart
and so while I wrap your golden gift
slip the fiver into the till
as you puncture a Coke
I concoct my line of choice
something about fish
or how I’ll batter your wife
