Self Peeking Poem by Ima Ryma

The cleaner wrasse, a tiny fish,
Has been studied and found to do
Something deemed very humanish,
The first of fish for such debut.
From the studies it does appear
The cleaner wrasse does recognize
Itself from looking in a mirror,
A self awareness that implies.
On the fish studiers did place
Spots that in the mirror did show.
The cleaner wrasse tried to erase
Those spots - a blemish they did know.

Seeing themselves in the mirror scene,
The cleaner wrasse saw what to clean.
