An arapaima, I am
A big fish in the Amazon.
Up and down and across I've swam.
I'm a fine finned phenomenon.
My swim bladder hybrids with gill.
There is some lung stuff growing there.
So while waters my preferred, still
I have to come up for some air.
Though fish is main catch of the day.
This fish outta water does find
My rough boned tongue leading the way
For a snack of the feathered kind.
Some like to fish for fish, I've heard.
But my fav is to fish for bird.
I really enjoyed reading this. I got to fish for arapaima in the Amazon just last year. Also got to eat it in a floating restaurant on the Rio Negro. Delicious!

I would like to translate this poem
Some of those fish were over six feet long, by the way!
