Honest To Cod

The Feeling of Fishing while Floating Is Graded on Goading, and Gloating Bystanders oft blindly believe In salmon the size of my sleeve Tall Tales at the Time Told True In Grandeur they Gained and they Grew But my Rod and Reel won't Remember Come the Dread and the Din of December And by the Time I again Tell my Tale I Will have Wrangled Ahab's White Whale 2/13/11

LOL! Hey Joe - the last time I went fishing I was pulled overboard...well actually I accidentally fell overboard. Don't tell anyone. Great Alliteration. Congrats on your #1 WIN in Mr. Heck's contest. Best wishes, KC

Well Joe, to me you did very well with your first Alliteration, these poems are not easy to do, it took me a long time to come up with mine, finding the words is the problem and making them work together!!

Oh, you have me smiling in this one, Joe. My "rod and reel" remember great battles with denizons of the deep, though I must confess, I never wrangled with a whale. Happy Valentines day, my friend. Love, Carolyn
