Fishy Encounters of the Silent Kind

A school of silverfish looked up at me
      At least it seemed their eyes could see

    I acknowledged them with a bob of my head
      They bobbed me back ~ That's all we said

I'm impressed, I didn't realize you've mastered "fish speak" or "fisheese" if you've been an attorney. Love a light poem every once in a while to lighten me up, Gershon. Thanks for the smiles your light poems bring to my face. Bill

Bill, I have a confession to make. I write these poems just for the halibut. Keep smiling, Gershon

A shared bob of the head is preferable to a kick in the pants! I enjoyed reading this, Gershon; thank you.
