I've added a line: "Even fish feel while they swish!" Doddery Am I getting doddery, Long in the tooth, Long dead to youth? Or sensible, experienced, mature, Deploring times and crimes of culture? I feel pain, must look away When I see creatures run, swim, fly Abused, Unfelt for, Victimised. **** fight, horse race, injured, forced; Elephant, rhinoceros, without tusk; Even fish feel while they swish; Hunted whales or seals or tuna. Turned into a grilled hamburger I no longer eat frankfurter… What the heck is wrong with me? Who out there sees what I see? *doddery; slow and unsteady in movement because of weakness in old age: he's a bit doddery on his legs and doesn't get about much.
