Pretty lady


'...for you are to unnerstand that they used at first to call her "Pretty lady", as the general way in that country is, and that she had taught 'em to call her "Fisherman's daughter" instead.'
-Charles Dickens, David Copperfield, Ch. 5

Fish and the memories of fish disappear,
but I'll never forget the wonder I saw on your face,
the single finger you placed on its skin,
and the steady whisper,
"fishyfishyfishyfishyfishy..."

She is such a pretty little lady, and so blessed to be your (a fisherman's) daughter. What a great pic.

Fishes and tales and a fisherman's daughter
walks in the rain, she walks to the water
to the sea...
