The Barmaid and the Mermaid

(A fun play with words)


He caught at last
an awesome catch
for her was but to tell…

“He caught a lass!
An awesome catch
for her butt was a tail!!!”

The barmaid caught a fisherman—


He caught, alas,
A measly catch
For her’s was but a tale.


Smiles,
Lighthouse Bob

Smiles. Thanks guys for reading and for commenting. Unfortunately, this was a most sad excuse resulting from my mis-judgement and getting up way too early to write with my mind half asleep and still playing manipulative word games. Thanks again.

A clever tale, at that!

Those hooks, lines and sinkers are not always what they're cracked up to be.
