Notes About The Poem

For Bite Size Poetry Contest No109 Poetry Contest sponsored by Line Gauthier

Duplicitous Exchange

One day, a trout approached a fly, 
and, giving her a hungry eye,
said, "I just came to take a look", 
but I must tell you, with a sigh, 
that, sadly, some fishes baldly lie,
and this one caught a treble hook.
