Perhaps the title is either too much or not enough. Not enough for lazy readers like me who give up after one page of errant google search results and just plow ahead reading the poem without the decryption key. Too much for diligent readers who pick up the key before starting their reading of the poem. For them, it's no longer a riddle, and they don't get the fun of cracking it. I wish it were fish and not unidentified nocturnal beasties, though the black and white imagery now makes more sense.
