The Old Man and the Fish

by IEatCats22

A short poem-fic, about the relationship between the old man and the swordfish, from the Hemmingway classical story "The Old Man and the Sea." Please R&R!

All night by the fish-fish

All night by the fish I lay

I woke pressed next to his glistening scales

And greeted the brand new day

All night by the fish-fish

All night by the fish I lay

I woke with his tail fin slapping my thighs

And pleaded for it to stay

All night by the fish-fish

All night by the fish I lay

I found that sharks had ate my fish

And dragged his bones away
