FISH MONGERING PHILOSOPHERS
FISH MONGERING PHILOSPHERS
During the Age of Pericles Sicily
Was then Magna Greece; Empedocles
A pastoral poet; Greek ships thrived
Alexander the Great’s third daughter
Alexandrina had a lineage that reaches
Us today in small Sicilan towns
Sicilian fisherman still net those fish that
Swam from Greek isle to Greek isle;
Some may have spawn Socrates soul.
Such brain food help give rise to Archimedes
Whose science some say included calculus
Which we now know came from him.
Most island depend of fish; Japan has many
Smelly fish markets; fish mongering has always
Dwelt among progressives; Jesus dealt in fish.
Some philosophers act like a fish out of water;
The truth is that fish always end up out side of
Their element so that their truth is watered down.
