A Coi Moment

A Frog Speaks to his Coi Mistress

Had we but world enough, and time,

This Coi-ness, Mistress, were no crime

We would sit down and think which way

To swim, and pass our long love’s day;

So, while thy willing soul transpires

At every pore with instant fires,

Put aside thy fishy flesh and free

That mermaid queen I know to be.

Then you and I shall blissful lie

Above the water, below the sky

You shall be my lass and I, your lad….

At least,

‘til my Wife returns to our lily pad.
