Atticus

There’s no one as funny as Atticus
To go fishing he wrote out a syllabus
He outlined his day
Made a magnificent play
Yet caught with his squid more octopus

Having caught two octopi using squid for bait, this poem held special meaning for me, Charles. Very frustrating! Congratulations on your success in my contest. Love, Carolyn
