The Cuttlefish Man
“I swam through the pipes more dead than alive—
A terrible place to try to survive!
After days of wandering through this maze,
Body weak with hunger, mind in a daze,
I tasted salt and saw fish all around:
My troubles were over! By chance I’d found
An outlet to the ocean—lucky me!
Now I could feed and be totally free!”
