Catch of the Day

The catch of the day was a shark I'm surprised they fished off that ark The fishes on the boat, Could hardly stay afloat God allowed sharks to disembark. written March 5, 2022

Nice one Milton, made me chuckle. Just imagine if there were 2 of a kind, I wonder how many behaved on the Ark, mmm :) I've written a few Limericks myself, it's good fun :)

I enjoy them, but I have a heck of a time getting the rhythm right. Even when I have the required number of syllables in the appropriate lines, they just don't seem to read right. I love them, but I spend more time trying to get a limerick to work that any other format.

A whale of a tale here, Milt. ~ Meadow Lark (Lemon)

Nope, gw. A shark tale! You wouldn't be able to pull in a whale on a line like they were using. Gosh!!!

Oh, I detest sharks! I grew up on the Pacific, and that line from Jaws regarding "they stare at you with those lifeless doll eyes" - yikes. Seen way too many up close. Good one, Milt!

Thanks, Jeff. I think my meter wasn't very good, but I got the point across. I think. What was the point????
