Scales




Deep in the lake,
that was really a dish
lived five scaley friends,
all of them fish.

If fish have legs, then do chickens have lips? And you're such a poet! I love the little ditties you always come up with.

Thanks for the doublemint earworm!!
Here's one for you....

Karma, karma, karma, karma, karma cha-meel-ee-yon...

Great poem... this one and the 'treat' one below. Wonderful color palette, and I like the texture of the scales when enlarged. Speaking of 'enlargement,' your comment on my 'scale' post made me laugh... I've gotten too many of those male 'enhancement' emails.

OH I love their luminous bodies and the girly fish with lips, eyelashes and the most handsome fishy boyfriend of all :) They are the only two that don't have their heads above water ...

When are you going to do a children's book? Of course some of your illos and poems might be R rated, save those for the adult book!
