Fish poetry

 It's been raining pesce     and cephalopods here the last few days, so I've been hanging in the office and sorting thru papers.  Yuckl!

Yesterday I amused myself by writing a fish limerick.  Today I might bang out a couple Haiku.

As I rearrange books on my shelves, quite a bit have to do with water based critters.  I think that has something to do with 22 years of US Coast Guard (USCG) experiences with a fisheries related emphasis.  

My other specialty was Search and Rescue, and invariably that was mostly in response to fishing vessel emergencies.  This included:

• grad school in fisheries management at the University of Washington
• USCG member on the North Pacific Fisheries Management Council in Anchorage, AK
• four years of service on ships operating in the North Pacific and Northeast Atlantic (NJ/NY and New England to Canada) primarily completing commercial fisheries boardings

 

I think that you get the idea, and here is the inaugural poem.

A smart little girl went to catch some fish,

Told all her friends it's her only wish,

She swam and she swam,

said "Hello!" to a clam,

Fed a meal to her fam' that was so delish!!!
