Story 359

Rooked

The fisherman watched, as the fish hid in the brook, under a rock, in a

little nook. It bit the bait, and took the hook, then violently shook,

though it couldn't unhook.

Later as the fisherman was taking a look, at his cookbook, a sly rook,

swooped down and took the fill-layed brook.

The fisherman cried- "You common crook !"

And the bird replied – "You common schnook !"

Change: filleted replaced with fill-layed.
