Tasty Bob


Tasty Bob
9-25-11

Can you look at a body of water
And not wonder
How many bodies 
Have been dumped in their depths?
See the people fishing the waters?
Have the fish nibbled 
At the flesh of the dead?
Would eating of the flesh 
Of that man-eating fish
Constitute eating of the
Flesh of a man?
Could you be 
Prosecuted for it?
How would someone
Go about proving that?
I wonder what the 
Name of the dead person was.
I am sure that the clay shell
No longer really cares.
I shall call him Bob.
Was Bob tasty, Mr. Fish?
You were tasty, Mr. Fish.
I guess Bob was tasty too.


I wrote this while I was on some percocet. I am pretty sure it shows. While I was out of town, my new graphics tablet came in. Once I recover a bit, I may draw Bob and Mr. Fish. Let me know what you think of this poem! I welcome comments!
