Fish, Fish and more Fish (2023)Acrylic painting by Suzette Datema

Fish, Fish,Fish

When the fish is in the net,
there's no time for lazy or to fret.
Quickly rise and shake off the sleep,
head to the shore, the ocean to reap.
The masters await, their approval to seek,
while the ladies hurry, their appearance to tweak.
Lips painted red, and dresses just so,
off to work, they confidently go.
Today is not a day to be slow,
for a bountiful catch is what they hope to show.
Singing songs, carrying the fishes with glee,
thinking of all the dishes that soon will be.
Fishes bring joy, and provide for their kin,
and if they're lucky, a new piece of bling.
With a little extra, they can splurge and treat,
but the real joy is found in what they eat.
Tomorrow is not promised, but optimism is high,
for today's catch is enough to make them sigh.
So keep on singing, dear ladies of the sea,
for your hard work and perseverance is what sets you free.
