Pub-Lish

As I went to get published,
Stopped for ale and grub.
At a place called the Longfish;
Which is a great pub.

Well that first book it got scrubbed;
Thrown in the rubbish.
So now when I seek a pub,
It must end in lish.

Though the meter was a bit strained for this form, your cleverness redeemed it. For originality I had to put you on top ten. congrats!
