PATSY'S POETRY CORNER

             
	           A Fish

 	A fresh, swishy fish
	Makes a  nice tasty dish,
	When cooked well and served on my plate.
	Or in an aquarium
	Causes 'hilarium',
	If that sort of thing is his fate.

	I live by the Lake
	And sometimes I take
	My rod and my old rusty reel.
	I'll  patiently wait
	'Til a fish takes my bait.
	It's exciting to catch my next meal.

	I've caught on  my hook
	A fish I should cook
	And enjoy, and I honestly mean it.
	But, first things come first,
	And the thing that's the worst
	Is that ultimately I must clean it.

	This chore I abhor,
	But the fish hates it more,
	So I'm sending him back to the 'watah.'
	For supper, instead,
	I'll eat butter and bread,
	While the fish swims away, as he 'oughta.'
