A Fish Tale
(For Thelma)
She wasn't really fishing
He simply left his line,
In all her life she'd never caught
A fish on which to dine
She loved to eat them, I'll agree
But never had she hooked
A fish-Her only talent
Was to see that they were cooked
She heard the signal
on the line.
It called and called, and called
So long that finally
She became appalled.
Suppose he gets away, she thought
And running to the shore
She saw the monster on the line
About ten pounds or more [or less]

In all her life she'd never caught
A fish on which to dine
She loved to eat them, I'll agree
But never had she hooked

And running to the shore
