Timothy O’Morty’s wish
Was to have his own true fish
As an honest Muse and pet.
Sadly, this he did not get,
Having scorned carp, perch and hake
For a turbot, which was fake.
Nonetheless, this fishy fraud did
Poetry to be applauded:
If a topic looked too hard
For the human type of bard,
“We can’t manage this, but”, they’d say,
“Tim O’Morty’s con turbot may!”
