Some schoolboy verse

[pecunium]

My Marine Bio prof gave an extra credit assignment; write a poem about gills. The requirement: it has to have all the major structures.

The fish drinks its air
Moving water past the pair

Of rakers, arches, and lamellae
Filaments, slits or opercula

Getting everything it needs
By, “breathing” as it feeds

When standing still
And at ramming speeds

Perhaps, and perhaps not. She is about my age, and I like her, but I suspect she has not the time (several classes, and a couple of kids, and lord knows what all else.

This is the class taking the most of my effort, and in some ways the most of my time, because it involves a hundred miles of driving every couple of weeks (and a 200 miles drive once).

Which is all on twisty roads and is good for my motorcycling.
