Notes About The Poem

I Stink of Fish

I skinned a fish with my right hand
Scent lingers it doesn’t smell grand
I’ve washed my hands twice
They STILL don’t smell nice
It’s something I don’t understand!

Very clever and, unfortunately the truth about smells uncouth from fish pish. Another for your book! Do you know what the blind man said while walking thru the fish market? Good Morning, Ladies. I don't think I should sign this, but I will tell you that I had fun.

I know, right? I picked up a package of vacuum sealed fish at the supermarket yesterday, and my hand smelled after THAT.

Have you ever microwaved fish for lunch in an office? It doesn't go over well, even expensive salmon

I smiled thinking of how many days later I have smelled fish, and onion thinking "didn't I wash these hands?" Sometimes it takes a full bath Jan. Great job!

Whilst some fish admit they are hooked, others raise quite a stink about dying.....in the meantime, keep your hand away from stray cats! Aloha! Rico

Lol! Jan, Don't just hate that? I heard if you squeeze some fresh lemon on your hands that would help get that stinking smell off your hands:-) Alexis
