Diane Locksley Poet Limerick

Kayak Fishing Surprise

Ole Les set out by kayak from the shore

Big blue marlin rose from the ocean floor

  Nipped his bait, gave Les a tow

  Water-logged craft sank below

Friends shook their heads and said, "No Les, no more"



4/27/2011
Written for John Freeman's "Fishing" limerick contest
Okay, the man's name wasn't Les ,but this video shows two kayaks being towed 11 
miles by marlins.  I took a little poetic license with the ending too.  Both men 
survived.  If you fish you will be amazed by this video:

Andrea Dietrich April 29, 2011 at 3:33 PM diane, it's not a calorie overload, not even at a foot long!! That one guy, the one used as their spokesperson, used to eat 2 or 3 subways a day to lose like a hundred pounds. If you want to gain weight try my special diet. the Seefood diet. You see food and you eat it. I can give ya all the details . I did it really good when I was a youn'un!!!
