Must we really now contemplate
the passing of sturgeon to char or skate?
The sturgeon effectuates caviar,
preferable to swill-supped salmon by far
but a dying breed, its rivers dammed,
a future less than certain. Drammed
right down to the cold, hard marble,
I hear her voice in the ether warble
a melancholy reel of reason sounder
than the garbled nonsense of the southern flounder;
The sturgeon whiskered and wise,
the flounder flatly lies.
