Fisherman Song

Fishermen were holding their arms stretched out longer than a Ford F-50. Braggadocio stories were exuberant, not skimpy but sometimes shifty. Great grandson of one had been fishing without a single fish all day long. When he pulled out a guppy the braggarts broke into a fisherman’s song. “whether catfish or guppy, minnows even, if you cannot get a bigger fish. Someone run up and give that guy the reward for the tiniest catch dish.” The great-grandson knew then they were including him in their little song. He threw the teensy guppy back, knowing he had done nothing wrong.
