Old friend, remember whenyou and I lived down here? See all those fish shops? Here, come this way. A huge orange lobstersquats on display,beside two poor oysterssoldered together. Fleet-footed seagullssquawk in displeasure. Plump as a cuttlefish,a sailboat glides past. A dripping-wet beauty cries out for her dress.
