Fish Tail

A fat bluefin tuna down deep
Was fished out one night when asleep
He was looking quite pale
Had escaped a big whale
To be Sushi for one Meryl Streep






for Carolyn Devonshire's Limerick on Sea Tales competition

This is very humorous. Hopefully, you were successful in the contest. I had to make Sushi for a class I took once in Japanese linguistics. However, I had to splatter it with ginger sauce to enhance the taste. Blessings, Joseph
