I wanted a sardine can
To keep me warm at night
To curl up inside it
And tuck me out of sight
With metal as my blanket
I'll muse within my mind
Thinking of my life
All that I left behind
As I muse I sniff the fish
Flavoured with herbs and spices
I know some people who would eat
Those soft and scaly slices
Tomorrow I think I'll muse from the tuna hammock.
Author notes
Haha epic fail. Um so yeah:
13a. Spices and herbs
39a. Musings from the hammock
40a. Night seems so long
