Trish

There once was a diver called Trish,
Who met an enormous jewfish.
She was dwarfed by its head,
And then, drooling, she said,
‘I’d like to see you on my dish.’

* The goliath grouper is also known as the jewfish

Your poem is very funny Jack. I can picture this humorous encounter. I just posted my entry and read Robert Hinshaw's. He took a fun spin on the theme too. Good luck in the contest! Best to you, Diane
