The Melon and the Fish
The green fish of the landfill cried out to the melon of the sky,
From dawn to dusk to break of day they only cried out “Why?
Why must we suffer in this stink,
While you are up so high?
Why do purple otters reign?
When will the strawberries bloom again?
Please answer us!” They cried.
The melon did not answer
From its home in orange skies.
And the green fish of the landfill,
Would never find out why.
