I sit here in the restaurant
perusing a delicious menu
my wandering eye perceives sea food
I see food...
battered shrimp...yum
but wait...battered shrimp?
who did that evil battering?
drunken oysters mayhap...
stumbling home...
after a night in the oyster bar?
someone should do something...
open a home for them poor shrimp
a battered shrimp shelter...
why not?
they have shelters for battered women...
I wonder if they rescue them from cannibals?
Anyway...
it's a good thing shrimp, lobsters and shellfish have no vocal chords
oh well, lets eat.
Please tell me what you think

Now see, Zev, the only way to deal with seafood is with a firm hand and a largely disposable income.
My family learned that the hard way when a number of lobsters escaped from the flimsy confines of a bag to wreak havoc among the admittedly less flimsy, but much more excitable contents of the car (namely, us.) If anyone could be blamed for battering those shrimp, it would be those feisty little beasts -- I daresay I've never seen anyone quite as blue in the face with rage since.
Or possibly, they tried to cheat at cards in a shady Mexican club, and can you blame a poor hombre for losing his temper at a tiny, cheating crustacean once in a while?
The moral of this story is, when you see food that's seafood, pretend you didn't see the food, and thus, avoid all seafood.

Goodo
Clams have feelings too (I don't think they do?)
Do fish have feelings?? I don't know. I like the imagery. And It makes fish sound rather small and innocent and cute, dare I say it. Anyway, I like it. It's fun. Keep writing

Best wishes,
