Fish me up in nets. <br />Mesh closed to flesh, <br />I'm pressed. <br />Inspect me like the rest. <br />Then toss me back... <br />To catch up with the others, <br />In school. <br />Before it is addressed <br />I confessed 'playing hooky'. <br />I 'ain't' no fool! <br />I'm cool with that! <br />At least I wont be left, <br />To flip and flop around! <br />Like those other clowns on deck.<br /><br />Lawrence S.
