Fishing With Respect

Two friends near a bridge start to fish Catching whoppers is so their wish For a meal is to be sought So no fish need to be bought Like a hunter hunts for his dish Just as they are about to cast A funeral procession drives past A fisher takes of his cap This most respectful of chap The thoughts of man in contrast After the pause reverberates cheers A beauty caught, bring out the beers Hey Dave, what I've just seen Shows fishers are never mean Well we were married for nearly 20 years * From a joke to a Limerick * http://www.thehighlanderspoems.com/humour-6.php
