Connie the Cod-fish, a real fashion freak,

Was irresistibly drawn to anything chic.

Like the day she read in a smart magazine

That cod could look lovely with touches of green.

Parsley, she read, eyes glued to the page,

With a simple white sauce was this season's rage.

Dreamily Connie imagined the scene -

Herself decked out in the 'new white and green'.

A mouth-watering sight for her ravenous date,

She'd not swallowed the fact she'd be served on a plate ..
