I saw you in the water,still but for your tail.
I was in the tree above,afraid to exhale.
I think you saw me and gave me a wink.
Me precariously on my branch afraid to even blink.

Now it was you who had me stationary and still.
I thought it was me who was moving in for the ****.
You gave your tail a quick flip as if to flee.
That was a move I believe to try and capture me.

Now for an hour we have played this game of chess.
How the hell did man and fish get into this mess.
After all this time of hidden here my body starts to ache.
But I'm afraid to make a move incase this bow does break.

So at last I cautiously move my position.
Here's hoping I've made the correct decision.
But now as I am nearly ready to concede.
I realise that what I thought was fish,is just a piece of ****.
