For no real reason other than because I feel like it, I'm giving stuff away today. Phish - 'Live in Brooklyn' - it's a triple CD in beautiful condition (I have two copies) and is currently available on Amazon for a sumptuous range of prices between £16 and £412(!). It's a great recording of a jam band doing their thing. So, whoever posts the best original limerick about fish can have it.

Nobody seems to want to go first. Definitely not winner material but hopefully this one that took me about a minute will get the ball rolling.....
I went on a boat as a nipper Determined to catch my own kipper I dangled my rod And hooked a big cod That I landed with help from the skipper

There once was a fellow called Chris Who had only one dearest wish To exchange some rhyme With his partners in crime For an album by a band called Phish

There once was a fellow named Rich Who was partial to a bit of Phish He owned their CD's, but saw one he needs So thought up a rhyme to win this.

I once had an audiophile mate Who's only real friend was his pet skate. Imagine his plight When he got up one night Tank empty, and his cat with a smirk on it's face.
True story.
Well, it's not really.
Could 'ave been. Could 'ave been.

The prize is a CD by Phish? But my rhymes are so amateurish. And too long spent drinking When I should have been thinking Accounts for this load of old pish!

In this race there is more than one horse But only one winner of course A rhyme of food that is sea-borne Or for the veggies, some Quorn All drizzled with parsley sauce

There are so many kinds of sea creature. It's a job to know which ones to feature. But dogfish and catfish. And shellfish and flatfish. Are all that this short rhyme will teach ya.

I'm starting to fear the competition With their rhymes of such erudition They talk of the sea To win this CD To which I may never get to listen.

There's always the minimalist approach...
Fish-fish-fish fish fish-fish fish fish Fish-fish-fish fish fish-fish fish fish Take the "o" out of cod For the prize that I want wad Fish-fish-fish fish fish-fish fish fish

There once was a young man from Sark Who loved to fish nude in the dark But one night his boat Would no longer float And he soon was tea for a shark!
