*** Carp(E) Diem Poem by Sailing to windward

*** Carp(E) Diem



"You're not to go chasing fishes
'til you've done those dirty dishes",
my mother used to say.

But I did go chasin' fishes,
figurin', in my simple way,
that those boring dirty dishes,
unlike teasing little fishes,
aren't too likely to swim away
