Drunken Dancing Fish Poem by Smoky Hoss

Drunken Dancing Fish



An old man fishing
Sat all day in his boat
Drinking beer
Watching the bobber float

Perhaps it was the alcohol
Or the rocking to and fro
But he swore he saw
A fish come up and dance a do si do!

So quickly
It was gone
But the staggering effect of it
Like a hangover, lingered on long

He sold the boat
And gave up beer
Now he drinks ginger ale
And only hunts deer

Hahaha! This reminds me of Shel Silverman's poems. I love it.

That fish did not just dance, it did a do-si-do.. It had gone to dancing class even. Now that sounds fishy to me Smoky.... But highly beleiveable... Some educated fish these days.... ha, ha... good one. Jim Troy

Aww Smoky, this is hilarious. Another fish story too big scares a fisherman straight. Has been known to happen. I seriously enjoyed this and was sad when it ended.
