A Fish Vigil

Have you ever had
Fish stare at you
While you are trying
To eat a fish dinner?
If you are ever
On the Island of Oahu,
There is a fish restaurant
Which features
A three-story high
Saltwater aquarium
Fully stocked with
A wide variety
Of reef fish,
A couple turtles,
Some eels,
A number of sharks
And some stingrays.
They also have some
Human mermaids
Who swim around the tank
And feed the fish by hand
To entertain the tourists.
As you relax
To enjoy the show,
Your fish dinner is served,
And it almost seems like
The fish in the tank
Know what is going on,
For numbers of them
Take up a vigil
Watching you eat,
As if trying
To make you feel guilty
For eating their relatives.
It makes for
An interesting ambiance.
