Jeff Kyser Poet Limerick

Fish Tales

’Twas Jonah the Lord God did teach,
When orders he opted to breach.
God’s porpoise not thwarted,
Escape was aborted,
With Jonah spit up on the beach.

If the fish had refused God right then,
Having tasted the flavor of men,
An immoral cetacean
That fell from creation,
Or a case of Original Fin?

Indiana Shaw February 26, 2022 at 5:02 PM I'm not sure if you are a just a mug lover, or it's a lousy photo shot, but, when it comes to you humour, you have got the lot . . . ; ) Indiana Shaw February 27, 2022 at 3:30 AM Sweet . . . : ) Jeff Kyser February 26, 2022 at 5:06 PM Ha! I have a Mac, and that profile picture upload is broken, broken, broken. Yup, it's best if you can't be identified by a mug shot, lol!
