Poor shrimp:
So tiny but so tasty
Even the little ones at table will eat your carcasses;
The white flower of the ocean deep
So tiny, but so versatile.
We should weep when our nets are full
Full of your brothers and sisters,
Mothers and fathers,
And great aunts and uncles, too.
Bearer of the finest oxymoron:
Jumbo shrimp.
I should cry a little when I eat you,
Breaded or not,
Whether with cocktail sauce or tartar.
About Me
- TBAYNHAMIII
- I was born in Kentucky, though my parents had been living in Knoxville before my birth. My mother's mother lived across the street from the hospital in Hopkinsville, Kentucky, which was convenient. I moved around quite a bit when I was young, but ended up in Georgia. I like to read and write and love food and drink way too much. I have a funny wife and daughter who has finished her batchelor's degree and is living with her grandmother in North Atlanta and studying advertising. I sometimes wonder what life would have been like if I had not gone to law school. Regrets come and go with the seasons.
