I'm fine,
said the goldfish,
at least I am not
a fish out of water.


She fished around
the puddle with her hand.
Alas, her earring was gone.

           His favorite pastime was fishing
            Each weekend found him wishing
               the sun would come out,
              he'd catch a large trout
           Sadly the sun was not listening.

    Very good. Just the right amount of ‘fishyness’. 🙂
