Sparkling Haddock

Through the dark recesses of the deep
a flicker of light can be seen
with a swish of his long fan tail
like a shiny sleek submarine

he swims through the mucky waters
sun reflecting off each scale
for as the meanest haddock in town
thinking he`s as grand as a whale

because he`s so bright and shiny
all the fish have put their shades on
even when the moon was out
it felt as though the big sun shone

Haddock`s friends, they tried to cope
but his sparkling skin is so bright
it`s never too dark when he is here
with his wonderful scales of light
