Fish Tales

There once was a mermaid named Lily
Who wanted a life that was frilly
   She made a rash wish
   To not be a fish
With those fishtail legs she looks silly

THis is really really good, Marty, and I say that in all sincerity because I rarely like more than half the limericks I read anywhere. It's a sure winner as well, or (as one person has said here) there is a fly in the "soup". haha. LUv, Andrea
