Moxi's Fishes

Every day, there are fishes on Moxi's dining table:
mackerel, sardines, and Pacific saury;
pink sea bream, bright blue parrotfish;
sliced salmon, fried horse mackerel,
and peeled sushi shrimp.

There's a yellow-spotted puffer,
and a cute plump boxfish;
a round little blue whale,
a slender trumpetfish,
and a sunfish, round and flat.

A blacktail croaker with a scissor-like tail,
a whale shark sprinkled with pearl-like spots,
and a greenfin fish with butterfly wings.

Yet Moxi's mother never cooks fish;
Moxi is allergic to seafood.
He loves these chopstick rests,
just as his mother loves Japanese food.
