Scientists fear for cod stocks as study reveals there are just 100 adult fish in the North Sea
Daily Mail, 16 September 2012
her inscrutable stare
her industrious hands an instant still
my order incomprehensible:
Cod and chips please
Godship?
not a phrase she'd needed to learn
phonetically till then
Godship?
run that through the Linguaphone—
ah, the renminbi drops
fishachip!
you wan fishachip!
and the writing on the wall
was there all along—
no haddock, no hake
and there is definitely no Cod
it's just fish
and it’s not as cheap as chips
