About Fish Or Something

Something WONDERFUL there is
Being a big fish in a big stream

BUT!

Being a little fish in a big stream?
One gets swallowed up

How about
Being a big fish in a little stream?
Hell YES!

BUT!

When one is a little fish in a little stream

OR

When one is a little fish in a big stream

He/she
Turns to religion

hahaha, love the way you ended this.SO clever. So have you really exhausted all my poems?Even the ones that go way back?? I sure am looking back here at yours, and loving it.Yes, I think some of our topics are very similar but just a different slant to them. Today I am very nervous. I need to pick up a niece at the airport in sLC and then drive over into the city. I am scared. I don't do well in traffic. Am dreading it! Luv, Andrea

There is much truth in fish stories. Especially told by talented and wise poets. Well, perhaps something the big fishes will eventually turn to also, near the end of their fish journey. : ) So many fishes of course and whatever keeps em swimmin! Love, Shar
