Old Fisherman Jones was out on the water
When he felt his line tugged and he yelled out, "I've got 'er!"
He pulled and he reeled and he struggled and grunted
To capture the biggest catch he'd ever hunted.
And when he succeeded, it wasn't a fish
But a mermaid! And she said, "I'll give you one wish."
So Jones got to thinking of all that he'd like:
A new boat! A castle! Or better--a wife!
He spoke out his wish and soon he was wed.
Can you guess who he married? All their kids' feet were webbed...
Can you guess the author? I've posted his picture as a clue...:)

Overkill, eh? Yeah, you're probably right...

That was fun. The Dr. always makes me feel like a little kid again.
That's my favorite poet!
I bet you didn't know it.
But the piece that you wrote
about the man on the boat
inspired me to show it.
(p.s. your photo of him is overkill - It was pretty obvious without it.)
