Great limerick, Paul. Not a fan of fish bones, myself so I'd need to sieve it, too!! Congrats on your win. Regards, John.

Great limerick, my dear. I don't have much to say about a fish broth as you know I'm vegetarian.... ;)

Thank you, Eileen. I'm not really a meat eater as I believe that meat is not a healthy option, but I love fish and vegetables. Hugs // paul

It is wise to be careful of fish bones, Maria; what might be funny in the poem could turn out to be fatal. Thank you for enjoying, and for the congrats. Hugs // paul

Ha! I'm not sure it's the bones that would creep me out as much as the whole head in my soup! Great write. Fun!

You merited it, Andrea:) By the way...I replaced the word 'Dutch' by 'top'; 2 'ch's next to each other don't sound right! (I'm fussy that way!!).
