the question here is
a piece at a time
or a whole ROLL-A-RAMA?
and how do you pick
when you don't know the language?
you may order MILKTOAST
if you don't know the name.
and how do you learn
to avoid the sea urchin,
the slimey, bad-textured, inedible kind?
MEN are like sushi,
they all look so pretty,
but how do you tell
if they're fresh or GONE BAD?
some are quite raw
and some cooked to excess,
and some are leftovers
that someone else had!
do you sit at a bar
or get served at a table?
can you eat with your fingers,
or is it SAFER with sticks?
futomaki or yellowtail,
tuna or mackerel,
it all smells the same,
and it all HOOKS like fish!
