Super Goliath Grouper

A Jewfish known as Goliath Grouper, At eight hundred pounds, mouth like a scooper! Quest of the Atlantic, Their mouth is gigantic! A Goliath fillet, tastes quite super! By reason of inquisitive nature, The cause of them being a fair wager, Of fisherman’s spear, They have not a fear. Of ocean fish they are one of major! Young may be prodigious hermaphrodites, Gender goes either way if-you-buy-it. On list, endangered species, Will be shame if it ceases! The Goliath Grouper, one nature’s sight! For and in Honor of Carolyn Devonshire And Contest: Attack

John, you provided information as well as humor in your limerick series. Few people know they are born hermaphrodites, but I can certainly attest to the fact that their huge mouths look like "scoopers." Great poem! Congratulations on your big win! Love, Carolyn

For and in honor of Carolyn! How sweet to honor a dedicated writer and poetess, JOhn. I must say I enjoyed the fact that U mentioned this fellas real name-Jew Fish, as tho the endangered species of the other Jews in Israel is NOT ENOUGH! I am sure since someone cleverly hid the fishes' heritage, it will now stand a chance of survival. You are one of my fav poets-Happy Sabbath, Moses. Gwendolen

This is definately one of the best fish to eat and your poem is very informative as well as humorous. A friend told me they can get even bigger than 800 pounds. Can you picture meeting one undersea? I do hope we can protect this species John and I didn't know their young were hermaphrodites. Good luck in the contest! Best to you, Diane
