Sonnet #1: Ode to Bob de la Mer

Sonnet No. 1
Ode to Bob de la Mer
By His disturbingly Devoted and Loving Lady,
Sionann in Ui Fhlaithbheartaig

I say there is nary a companion
So completely suited to myself than he,
Who could, but for one thing, be Noble scion,
Though hardly could he climb that knotty tree.
His raiments, brightly coloured, are a fine sight
Compared to his, the flora dost seem dim.
His armour shines resplendent in the sunlight
When though the glazed pane I spy to catch him.
Affrighted, finds he solace in his cave.
When touched his beauteous body he doth flail.
His beard, red and flowing, and hair a turquoise wave,
His figure, it dost surely tip the "scales".
And I would be thought mad if make a wish
That Bob, in briny bliss, were not... a fish.
