Careful What You Catch

Me and the boys went fishing, Little dog in tow. "Charlie Brown" went everywhere The five of us would go. We were having lots of fun Until we hooked our pal. He swallowed a wad of stink bait Treble hook and all. Mama cut the nylon line, We saw it slip away. The vet said, "Keep a watching, It might pass some day." We followed him for three full days. He ate a lot of grass. And then, what do you think we found Passing from his ass? Charlie was our buddy. Our closest, dearest friend. That treble hook looked just like gold Passing from his end.

oh, my, this is so funny! You know what? If I recall correctly, this one was never even judged?? Am I right? My sister is in Houston and she told me how weird it was in Texas a week or so ago. She hates it there. WE both grew up in humid Iowa, but she says Iowa is still better than texas! (Utah, however, is better weather than both of them!)

Oh my gosh, Ray! That "stink bait" we use to lure catfish has a horrific smell. Good Grief, Charlie Brown! When it "passed," did it carry gas? Funny entry. Best wishes in the contest. (It's great to see flawless use of spelling, punctuation and grammar!) You're one to watch here, Ray. Best wishes in the contest. Love, Carolyn
