Have you met Goliath Grouper
bigger than the huge state trooper
around when you were flying low?
That ticket cost you lots of dough.
In duel with fish of such a size,
he’d be the winner, you the prize.
Though mostly calm and quite benign,
you do not want one on your line.
Take warning divers, stay away,
don’t be a part of his buffet
like other big fish in the sea.
He'll think you are a delicacy.

Cod Fish in Aus
Lines are set to catch a cod
Spring sticks an 100 lb of cord
Shark hook with a wire trace
he’s taken line an rod this ace
but no it is not odd
deep pools is where cod do lurk
he stole the rod of fat Mac Gurk
he tried to shoot him, got the boat
near to drown in old great coat
no it did not work
a cod was lifted by young Jim
a pelican showered him
blinded by the vapor trail
he held the cod fish lost the tail
lost fish an awful sin
Don Johnson attempting a Limerick :)
When we were young boys on our farm.
A fish tale never meant any harm,
We oft were given a look,
When from such a tiny brook,
We claimed a fish as long as your arm.
But then our neighbor named Meg,
Beat the fib and put us down a peg,
By claiming from the same brook,
With not a worm on her hook,
She caught a fish as long as your leg!
Well that truth was quite hard to beat,
Then Summer beat a hasty retreat.
Winter changed the fishing world,
Meg turned from tomboy to girl.
And now this fishing tale is complete!
