Sense Sonnet - Pumper

Coffinfish

I be a coffinfish, I be
A dwelling on the ocean floor.
Some humans came to study me
And found that I hold my breath for
Up to four minutes at a time,
A behavior not seen in fish.
These folks seemed excited that I'm
The first being breath holdingish.
Of course they wanted to know why.
Various theories they extolled.
I did not give them a reply,
Being that my breath was on hold.

The humans left after a while.
I gave them a breath holding smile.
