How does virtue earn its glow,
By trust our balance in principle grows,
A sheen of radiance covers the brook,
Ice over waters flowing nook
Nestled in mud we winter time's slog,
Growing whiskers, barbels in alluvial grog,
Our ration of furnace lighting the heart
Howls castle ramparts brick- lessly apart
Our brood nestles closely in family dark,
Water's ubiquity the catfishes lark
By smell touch deposits and billions of years,
Awaiting some tidbit nature's drifted arrears
Three inches with fins in a pod all dependent,
Innumerous variables likewise incumbent.
"Many larger catfish also have chemoreceptors across their entire bodies, which means they "taste" anything they touch and "smell" any chemicals in the water. In catfish, gustation plays a primary role in the orientation and location of food"
