(limerick) And Not Only That #1 by Wes Vogler
Fish (Senryu Series)Kelly Kurt


Tuna Kelly

With mayo on rye
Polluted with mercury
Chicken of the sea

Tuna WES

I found tuna's an 'aunt' anagram
Sometimes fifty years old they get, Maam
They are worth lots of money
They are also called 'Tunny'
Fifteen feet in length, often, they am


Piranha Kelly

Daggered dentition
Amazonian killers
Swim at your own risk

Piranha WES

Don't go lookin' for these guys in pools
Learn your lessons in other type 'schools'
Drop In Meat... by my troth...
It will vanish in froth
I once had a pet 'pir' but it drools

Goldfish Kelly

Tiny baked crackers
Temporary household pet
Toilet funerals

GoldfishWES

When they're found belly-up that is it
Do not then... like my sis... have a fit
Their life span is short
And by brother's report
They're not fit for a sandwich a bit

Sharks Kelly

Lords of the oceans
Four-hundred million years old
Massacred for fins

Sharks WES

The Great White one can bite through a raft
Go you swimming with one you are daft
But you always were numb
All in all, total sum...
Go ahead and just do it this aft


Catfish Kelly

Barbed bottom feeders
I never heard one meow
Internet scammer

Catfish WES

Protoge on the Amos and Andy progam
So you now know 'bout how old I am
Long-whiskered and scary
And hideously hairy
Can we talk about Angelfish, Sam?

Angelfish Kelly

Tropical beauties
Aquarium Seraphim
Lively triangles

Angelfish WES

It's an annagrammatical FLESHGAIN
(fatties gaining in weight will have fresh pain)
Gotten carried away
So wottaya say?
For some rhymes we need us a mesh brain

Manta Ray Kelly

Relatives of sharks
Winged underwater fliers
Meek plankton eaters

Manta Ray WES

They're the symbol of Florida's 'Marlins'
That's a baseball affiliate, darlins
They're the Bluejays nemesis
Those pesky young menaces
They should 'dopt something nice.. maybe starlins


Eels Kelly

Fin deprived swimmers
Predatory cylinders
Amazon shockers

Eels WES

Well if only those things would keep still
'Cause a bowlful of eels fails to thrill
Well they do have a use
As a form of abuse
Chase my sister and list to her shrill

SeahorsesKelly

Males carry the young
Chinese impotence treatment
Vertical swimmers

SeahorsesWES

Love to watch the seahorses a-swimming
All amongst the waves billowy brimming
But finally at night
As they fade out of sight
I am saddened at ultimate dimming
