No Bones About It

Mr. Trout swam in the bluest lake
Stomach growling with a pain that ached
And dangling nearby was a worm for the take---
So he swallowed the bait and the fisher's hook
Unfortunate now to be gutted then cooked.

Tammy was a lover of fish caught on a rod
Anything from trout to cod
On this evening she craved trout
Not knowing that revenge would be sought
The final wishes of the helpless and lonely
Is sometimes granted posthumously
For Mr. Trout had a bone to pick
Unfortunate now for Tammy, his point did stick.


Marcel

If you could see the smile that broke over my face as I read each line here...
What a great write!

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you.  Joy is a state of mind.

though I'm sure he'd rather have not been cooked at all, at least he got some of his own back.

LOL, poetic justice via the hook.
