Yo give a good description of how the taste affects you. If I can offer any suggestion, I would say it's story-like, kind of a Sam I Am, Green eggs and Ham. But hey, what do I know.
The hot burning touch on my tongue.
The batter that's too thick.
The fish that is too thin.
Yet the fishy smell lingers,
making it a baked fishy stick.
They're battery and buttery.
Hardly any butter.
Butter would be tastier.
Butter would be yummy.
But Butter makes you fat.
Makes you swell and grow.
Makes you sick with yourself.
Batter is no better butter.
It's just as fattening.
The first few bites, yummy.
The next few are just gross.
Fish would have been nice.
Not so much buttered batter.
Buttered batter makes my bitter better.
What a line!
But really, its gross.
I am bitter.
The fish sticks make me bitterer.
A self-loathing, self-hating,
buttered battered fish stick eater.
