Fish - Favorite Subject of Art and Philosophy

Fish - Favorite Subject of Art and Philosophy 

Dr Abe V Rotor

I walked the bridge to its far end and beyond,

And down the river to the sea I cast my pole.

It was a fight I fought, it was no longer game, 

And it was neither fish nor dream I caught.

- A V Rotor, Sunshine on Raindrops 2000
