Jan Allison Poet Monoku

Notes About The Poem

For Andrea Dietrich - I had pun writing these lines!

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!

Terrell Martin July 9, 2023 at 11:01 AM 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 Jan Allison July 9, 2023 at 11:03 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 July 7, 2023 at 5:22 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 July 7, 2023 at 4:56 PM I love all these puns, Jan. So clever, and thanks for promoting my halibut poem! Jan Allison July 7, 2023 at 5:14 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 July 7, 2023 at 11:20 AM Very amusing Jan, haddock a good laugh… Belle Beryl Edmonds July 9, 2023 at 2:01 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 July 7, 2023 at 11:25 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!
