I'm trying to write a poem each day in November instead of NaNoWriMo. And trying to come up with a new hashtag for it every time. This was Day 2, based on this result from Rory's Story Cubes:

The Carp Of The Ocean

"Nah, it's legit,"
Said the fish
Of the jewel
In his fist.

"I've got the papers
That prove it,
In that satchel,
By Cupid.

"I was there and I saw it
When the old lady dropped it,
I was straight into the water
The moment I clocked it.

"I swam to the bottom
And fetched back the stone,
And I think you're just right
To give it a home."

One customer looked annoyed.
The other looked nervous.
The first said, "If you can prove it
Then get on and serve us.

"I don't want to hear
Your shaggy dog tale,
Show me it's real
And you got you a sale."

Said the fish, "There's nothing
That I would like more,
But I promised a gent
That I'd meet him at four.

"See, he's also interested
In buying the diamond.
Nice chap, owns his
Own private island.

"But it can be yours,
If you pay me quick,
This fictional jewel
From a famous ship."

"No thanks," said the customer.

"Alright, suit yourself," said the fish. "Timewaster," he added, under his breath.
