At 10:30 he rises,
Shines he does not,
As down the stairs he dresses
Upon hearing a knock.
The postman? It must be,
But his brow drops when it's not;
Are we honest?
Two women in winter attire
Ask, as he gazes through eyes groggy and tired
Probably? Just about? Most people try?
No, young man, don't you see? the world's wicked and dire!
He answers when asked, no, he has not read the bible.
Oh, nevermind, you're not religious? That's fine!
But if you get tempted it's now free online!

Free Fish
He wakes up early
To get free fish
The sort that swim
Not served in a dish
The end prize is weighed
Against the price to be paid
That is in this case
A much longer day
For he wakes up early
To get free fish.
Clearly the author of the vers is an enthusiastic over the abstract concept of 'free fish' in what can only be interpreted as a graceful stand against the clanky contemporary Capitalism of the western world. The poem speaks of a time when there may be 'no such thing as a free lunch,' but the concept of 'free fish' is never to be overlooked.
