Fly Fishing

Fishnet stalking so many fish just jump right in then find themselves out of their element trapped and suffocating Oh to grow a pair I know it's hard to walk away when you haven't any legs evolution can be so slow

ala Shakespeare: "Can be? --Nay, madam..." Sigh: evolution, like all other change, is so painfully slow...except perhaps in cartoons. Great write, Maureen! Best wishes, Gershon

Ah you have described the male species quite succinctly. We are not as evolved as you lovely females and sadly we never will be. Another gem that made me chuckle!
