All the fish love night work–
since very few make big money from religious designs
or guest appearances on nature programs.

For a recent opening, there was a flood of applicants.
Drab gentlemen fish offered,
in addition to the top schools
and limited experience with secret feeding spots,
reports from deep-water dermatologists
in defense of their obnoxious smell.

One of the females, however,
wearing silver scale wash and sea grass essence,
put dry leaves in her hair,
covered one fin with red red lipstick
to go in kick-ass beautiful,
and signed the application with a pale-blue jelly.

The interviewer was positively hooked.
