A Fish Story

A King he was, 
     so large and mighty.

All men wished to find him.

The plaque he’d make, 
     for timely sake, 

But the King 
     he did not mind them. 

One day it had to happen, 
     somewhere upon the sea. 

The King was caught, 
     the battle fought. 

Nor more to swim,
      the free.

You have made the fish sound wise indeed; he seemed ready for his fate upon a plaque.

Time is short. Few of us ever take a moment to consider that as we walk from day to day. Ann
