A Fishy Pot Luck Dinner

The fish had a pot luck dinner
Almost all of them would concur
Only the shrimp refused to share
Because shellfish is what they were!

              Is a frosty old Lump

            Who eats only shrimp


      He thinks he's so smart when he is on N.T.V

Unhappy Tommy Macguigan

He wasn't blessed with a big'un

'Twas rather a shrimp

And usually limp,

Poor little thing, best kept hidden.

There’s a plump man they call The Blimp
Who recently started to limp
Though each day without fail
He’d eat a whole whale
So I proposed that he switch to shrimp

Gumbo

Sausage, shrimp, okra and rue
    Ingredients stew
Tantalizing onions smell
   Garlic simmers well
Crabs still in the shell
      Chicken too
         Woooo!!

Flamingo 


Twiggy-legged pink flamingo walks in stride
Spreads wings and flies above ground
Eats shrimp, retains its hue

she could munch it from evening ‘till dawn
It’s called shrimp, silly Aussie
yaps a Yank borzoi quite bossy
But being good mates, their anger’s long gone

Salsa so nice
But is not Lobster Sauce
If you put Salsa on Shrimp
Does the Lobster Sauce go after you?

I rather enjoy Shrimp with Lobster Sauce
But not Lobster sauce with Shrimp

Is there a difference
Sure Salsa

Premium Member Too Fishy Here

This place smells nasty to me
Any place I’d rather be
Fisherman Wharf, yes, I know.
Fresh everything caught below.

Pungency of fish galore
Smell I truly do abhor
Shrimp tastes too fishy for me.
To Midwest I’d rather be.

After Child's Birth

Mother's thinking 
Like shrimp peeled 
Off chili cells. 

Mother's also 
Peel off chili 
Aft giving birth.

Aft mother's birth
Pregnant mother
Will bloom again.

True joy is back
Aft mother's birth
Home whole again.

Premium Member Choose For Me I Said and Make Sure It's a He

Looked in the lobster tank
Could not bear thinking
of them possibly boiling a mother
I said please choose a he
I wondered if it would be like a hot tub
at first cozy and relaxing,
i felt sorry for my shrimp
and yet i love the taste
