Gulf Coast Mullet Meditation / Creed
(To be said with heads bowed but eyes and mouths wide open before we devour our mascot)
Nor let the Muse, in her award of fame,
Illustrious perch, unnoticed pass thy claim;
Prince of the prickly cohort, bred in lakes
To feast our boards, what sapid boneless flakes
Thy solid flesh supplies! Though river-fed,
No daintier fish in ocean's pastures bred
Swims thy compeer; scarce mullet may compete
With thee for fiber firm and flavor sweet
AUSONIUS (C.385)
Note: Ausonius ain't paid his dues in a while, but we still like his writ'uns.
