A Dignified Fish - A Poem
60A Dignified Fish
Temptation
Fish in the ocean a swimmin'
Swimmin' a current strong
Along come the devil a fishin'
Fishin' and hummin' a song
With bait so sweet and tempting
And a cunning zestful eye
He spots a luscious silver fin
Of a dignified fish near by
He baited his hook, still hummin'
Threw out his line with a spin
For you my sweet, a bauble
Bite it and I'll pull you in
But the fish jumped up with a pouty mouth
And a stunning show of pride
Swam the currents with exquisite grace
And flaunted herself on the tide
The fisherman drooled, sweet baby! You're mine
I love you! Hook line and fin
So she nibbled and nibbled and finally bit
And the fisherman reeled her in

Very cute! This feels like it could be a song to me!! Set it to music and write a children's story with it!
beautiful hub anndavis,thanks for sharing and voted up.
I did not find this funny. It is sad. Feeble is always gulped by powerful. This is also the case with humans.
Audrey, my mind is always spinning. You are right, I could write a cute little song, and a book. Both take time and money...I have neither. Lol. Thanks for the comment. Have a wonderful night.
Hi waleeds, thank you for reading this hub. Please come again.
Hi Vin. Yes, it's sad when we are lured into a worldly situation. It's a lesson we must learn. Thanks for your input.
