One Gnarly Dude

There was once a gnarly dude
who rode a motorcycle;
-- kept falling off.
In the dead of one hard night
he realised he couldn't ride
-- he had no legs.
Darkly, awkwardly, learning
the limits of his lifestyle
-- he was a fish.
JUST A GNARLY FISH, this fish
his roadtrip far from over.
A FISH in dried black leather,
fins flared towards the sunset.
He revved and sighed, swore and cursed
just like his biker frieds do
-- fit in, fit in
He stared ahead, eyes bulging,
pursed his crackling fishy lips
-- clung to the bar!
JUST A FISH, he had no hands,
he couldn't cling to nothing;
JUST A FISH! no legs, no arms
just riding, frying, grinning.
Kfish.
