A golly whopper's catch

There was a young woman who yearned for a mate. Sadly cat food was all that she ate... The cans with seafood she clearly favored and from this diet she never wavered. Many thought her an attractive gal, in spite of slight whiskers and her woeful meow. None dared go close as her breath was so foul.. Come night on a twinkling star she would wish. At the break of each dawn she'd gargle and swish. Regardless she always reeked heavily of fish. She couldn't rid of this seafood scent which seeped thru her pores and wouldn't relent, so she moved outdoors and bathed at a brook. One day she got snagged by a golly whopper hook.

Dear Nancy, you made me laugh out loud, what a delightful, quirky tale! I adore how you spin whimsy and longing into such vivid, fishy detail. The ending is pure, I never saw that golly whopper hook coming! Wonderful, playful spirit and sharp wit. Even the oddest stories can reel us in with charm and a big, bold heart. Spring Blessings, My Dear Nancy, Daniel

Hi Daniel, I'm glad you laughed a bit at this silly spun tale. Life is just way too serious and intense it seems lately. I am always honored to hear from you and Ms. Ink who are most so immensely talented. Blessings and stay light!

Dear Ink Empress, I know it was playful and silly but I wanted to do some thing a little lighter and am so happy you enjoyed it. I'm not a fisherman but found the golly whopper cat fish rod on line and decided to do a little write. Blessings to you and hope all is well with you these days..
