“Call me Ishmael”
“But your name is Fred!”
“Yes but for this poem,
Call me Ishmael”
“OK, so what does Ishmael do?”
“You’re the Captain, you tell me!”
“OK then, go down to the Chippie,
Get some fish and chips for the crew”
“Have you got a barrow,
Its a lot of fish and chips”
“OK then, just get the chips!”
“But what about the fish?”
“its OK, I have some in stock”
“Oh no! Not Whale Meat Again!”

- Comment from author about the poem: Our Poetry Group meets again next week and as ever we have a subject on which to write a poem or find published works to read. This time one of our 'Wags' came up with the title "Whale Meat Again" - I have written two for it so far, here is the first one.

Oh lol good write Gold.
Thanks Orchi.
For some reason I was thinking "Whale Meet Again". Very interesting though.
I think the title is what ever you make of it.
Well I liked the idea of "Whale Meet Again" as sort of a "We'll Meet Again" scenario story between a fisherman and a whale. But nice how you say it's what you make of it title.
Given the difficulty of the title, you came up with a good one, Goldie! But why 'Fred'? It's bad enough that every dumb joke has a guy named 'Fred' in it! 🙂 (Just kidding, you can use my name without my permission!!!)
Thank you Ishmael, may your name live on.
Nice that you can come up with a poem to fit a title , very well done with good humor
Thank WL, humour is always good in our lives.
