Silverfish

Story of strange fish

This is a strange looking fish

It lives in places without water

You will never like it on your dish

I bet it is stranger than Harry Potter

 

You will get it in your lovely book

It may emerge from bags and clothing

You will find it in dark and humid nook

It may ruin your precious thing

 

This strange creature secretly ate

Sixty kilos of delicious peanut

It never appeared to express regret

For plundering poor farmer’s hut

 

This creature has silvery body with six legs

It moves in a wiggling motion like a fish

Though an insect it is always wingless

It has the magical power to vanish

 

If you want to get rid of the filthy bug

Find the places where it lives in your home

Consult an expert who knows how to debug

But never panic as it has no venom

Hello zainu. I have heard about these tiny silver fish that don't live in water. It sounds as though they are a nuisance more than a threat.However it appears they have a voracious appetite. Sixty kilos of peanuts is quite a consignment :)I enjoyed the read. Thanks for posting.

Thank you Chris for the wonderful review.I still regret for allowing the creature to eat such a large consignment.I could easily separate part of the consignment for human consumption.
