For Andrea Dietrich - I had pun writing these lines!

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!

This is indeed a whale of a tale and you certainly know how to indulge in Crab Nubula for the Halibut! I can see now why you have such fantastic followers. Write on, Terrell

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

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.

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

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

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!
