At the Fishmonger's
by Konstantina Spyropoulou
come come take the best fish of the country here
I have it, come ladies and gentlemen fresh
from the water, only in my stall will you
find the freshest fish, look good lady it smells
of sea see? Never mind, another time. Yes, yes,
come tomorrow we will be having fresh
seabass and fresh sardines and herring, come
my dear lady buy small fish for your baby
babes need to start eating fish very young
why, I raised three sons with fish, they turned out
just fine, wee lads, well, most of them- come,
take a look at all those goodies, yes kind sir,
the best in the country. How much? A kilo- that
would be 50. Thank you, have a good day, God
bless your little cherubs- come lady, what? Don’t
like what you see? Why, the best in the country
your little gentleman would love them too, why,
I raised three sons with these very fish, I know…
