#eel
You've seen the eel twice now
I saw it once on
Our weekend walk and
I have to say, it was genuinely thrilling
Mysterious and often overlooked
Perhaps lost in the
Ornamental canal
Some distance from the river now
Sharing water with ducks, swans, a small
Fish family, the lonely heron
And those crab carcasses which are
A mystery unto themselves

My brother was a lion at home,
Protecting his family fiercely.
An eagle as a supervisor in the factory,
His eyes everywhere.
An ant, always busy never taking rest,
He was a cat and monkey,calm and agile,
He loved children,
He was a dove and a kitten with them,gentle and playful.
He loved swimming and was a fish in water,
He had won many national awards.
He was a fiddle but a wolf too,
Fit but always hungry,
He loved pizzas and anything that was barbecued.
He had his bad points too,
He was an eel, slippery,
Never committing himself to anything,
He was also a mule, very obstinate .
And when he saw cockroaches,
He brought the house down,
Became a ghost, white sheet.

I thought I caught
the most prized fish;
breathtaking, rare, and all mine.
It was all a deception,
for what I actually got
was a slimy, ephemeral eel.

Sitting on a rotten branch,
Two birds site the evil eel,
Terrified with a fright feel,
Slam! Came the branch,
Dead was the eel,
In excitement both posed a deal,
To enjoy their humongous meal...
