It's 'Oh Fish Eel' - 'Fish N Chips' For Andrea

It CAN be ‘fish n chips’  stop carping on, there’s no plaice for rudeness!

It's so sad to see a person out of their depths and just floundering

Why is it that some people always think they're right - for the halibut!

What a load of pollocks! Oh my cod she’s crabby …  Salmon call a doctor!

I'd order fries with my fish - but I'd get hooked for not calling them chips!

I've had a whale of a time casting out the bait with these fishy puns!

Stop those fishcious lines ...no debait, 'Halibut poem' is fintastic!

It’s shellfish fishing for compliments, but I write a good monoku!

Write on, Terrell Login to Reply Jan Allison Date: 7/9/2023 11:03:00 AM aww thanks Terrell I cant stomach seeing Andrea's poem being pulled apart by someone who is hell bent on having the last word and ignoring anything anyone else says (by removing their comments) so I decided to have a bit of fishy pun fun:-) hugs Jan xx

David Fisher Date: 7/7/2023 5:22:00 PM These are cleverly fishy and a lot of fun. And the picture is a great hook! Reminds me of the song Wet Dreams, by Kip Addotta, a classic in its own right.

Andrea Dietrich Date: 7/7/2023 4:56:00 PM I love all these puns, Jan. So clever, and thanks for promoting my halibut poem! Login to Reply Jan Allison Date: 7/7/2023 5:14:00 PM It's the least I could do Andrea, and I do hope you complain to admin about her behaviour on your poem - no one can comment on hers - can you imagine what would happen if someone wrote something negative about them! hugs jan xx

Beryl Edmonds Date: 7/7/2023 11:20:00 AM Very amusing Jan, haddock a good laugh… Belle Login to Reply Beryl Edmonds Date: 7/9/2023 2:01:00 AM Probably only for the posh with all the rising costs, though Fish ‘n’ Chips will always be my favourite dish to cook for tea… Belle Jan Allison Date: 7/7/2023 11:25:00 AM Thanks Belle, I wonder if you have fish and chip shops that serve 'fish n chips' or perhaps its only in posh areas of the UK!
