Popular Photographer - Fishboy

I am a popular

Photographer that bakes

Millions of followers

And everyone will say

That every shot I take

Will make you salivate

And everybody’s favorite pictures

Are of pizza

And in the morning

Without warning

They arrive

Request for recipes

Of pictures posted

Previous nights

And I’m proud to say

I never once replied

My secrets with me died

My recipe for pizza

And then a letter came

I could not turn away

A local restaurateur

Offering to pay

More money than I’d make

In the next 500 days

So eventually we came

To an agreement

He would hire me as

Chef in charge of pies

I’d sneak ingredients

Into the back and hide

Away from prying eyes

He’d rebrand, advertise

And gain exclusive rights

To my world-famous pizzas

And the opening night

There was a band to hype

A food critic type

Who got the first invite

He got the first slice

He took the first bite

He spits it out

And the band ignites

Of course the critic

Gave the restaurant lowest rank

And in every follow-up

Interview I gave

I admit that to this day

I still have yet to taste

I’ve never had pizza

There was an accident

When I was only five

It left my tastebuds

Permanently fried

So I focused on my eyes

And later I’d decide

To photograph what people like

And people like pizza

And people like pizza

If you bring a certain joy

From deep inside

Don’t take for granted

The feelings that arise

And know on your next life

There’s someone who will die

Without ever having tried…
