Kayak Fishing Surprise

Ole Les set out by kayak from the shore Big blue marlin rose from the ocean floor Nipped his bait, gave Les a tow Water-logged craft sank below Friends shook their heads and said, "No Les, no more" 4/27/2011 Written for John Freeman's "Fishing" limerick contest Okay, the man's name wasn't Les ,but this video shows two kayaks being towed 11 miles by marlins. I took a little poetic license with the ending too. Both men survived. If you fish you will be amazed by this video: http://www.youtube.com/user/KayakFishingTales? v=FqVEvNocKTA&feature=pyv&ad=4751720259&kw=kayaking

Hahaha, good one. Shame on you for sending poor Les to a water grave in this poem, you heartless person, you. lol. Heaven knows how I've managed to miss reading your works thus far. From the couple I've read now I have but one comment: geez!!! Good luck with the contest. ^__^

diane, it's not a calorie overload, not even at a foot long!! That one guy, the one used as their spokesperson, used to eat 2 or 3 subways a day to lose like a hundred pounds. If you want to gain weight try my special diet. the Seefood diet. You see food and you eat it. I can give ya all the details . I did it really good when I was a youn'un!!!
