Halibut Peoms?

[SemperFi]

Anybody have any examples of funny halibut poems?

Your user name combined with your quest for poems is confusing and a little bit scary to me. It is holloween week though.

As for the poem.....well some folks I work with have gotten bored and are holdin some TMNT magnets for ransom. One of the demands is a halibut poem. I am very busy with work and running into a brain block and was looking for ideas.

There once was a man from Nantucket
Who caught a fish that fought like a bucket
He said with a grin
As he pulled the fish in
“It’s a good think I like to eat halibucket.”

Yeah, the last word is a stretch and repeating the rhyme, but there's only so many things that rhyme with "bucket," and one such coupling I can't use on this forum.

You other brothers can't deny
That when a ..."

Oh ever mind, that was a song by Sir-Mix-A-Lot. Wrong 'buts too.

and barndoor in your boat
You get sprung..

Well, this is what I came up with:

I like big butts and I cannot lie,
They are easy to catch, they are not shy.
First time I went out, I didn't read the regs,
I had seven dead butts in between my legs.
Lucky for me, no troopers I saw,
I fried my fish and served them with slaw.
I had so much fun; I can't wait till its summer again.
Maybe next year I'll catch a butt bigger than a 15lb hen.

Any fans of haiku out there? Here's one:

If I can ever get
this car door into the boat
halibut cheeks for dinner

[old maverick]

A fat fisherman from McClure
Used a dynamite stick for a lure
His boat was a mess…
Found his ass six miles West
And the halibut fed good for sure

halibut halibut where are you?
on the sea bottom in the mucky goo
when i drop my herring you love
you bite and fight like a greyhound bus

hey better than nothing okay? you kids have fun with your tmnt magnets

[nickster]

O halibut, halibut, wherefore art thou Halibut?
You deny my jig and refuse my bait;
But if thou wilt bite and be mine flatfish,
You’ll swim free once again…
In melted butter on my dish.

[supern8inak]

Drifting for butts in the sea...
Problem and worrisome free...
pole in my left and beer in my right...
tug on my rod and I'm ready to fight...
dreaming of dinner and halibut bake...
1 hour fight for a 90 pound skate...dammit

Semper Fi you are giving us Marines a bad rep! Threaten to beat the crap out of them and sink their boats LOL

Things slow down a bit for us during the winter. Glad to say I met all three of the demands and got them back Fri. Also had to put a pic of David Hasselhoff as my computer background and put as many marshmallows in my mouth while saying I'm a chubby bunny. Our work is a silly place.

This has to rank right up there as one of the strangest threads I've ever seen.

Pretty darn entertaining, though.

If it was March and cabin fever season, that'd be different, but you're about 4 months early for that.

You all are familiar with playing "air guitar", right? Well, by March, I'm walking around my workplace playing "air jigging rod," imagining myself on the salt somewhere, seeing that little jig bouncing off the rocky bottom, moving my hands in the latest jigging method shared by AKCapt, feeling that strike, and --SETTING THE HOOK!, while my co-workers look on as if I'd gone bonkers. The thing is, as a frequent visitor to this forum, I know I'm not alone. Now that's either a very comforting thought, or one that calls into question our collective sanity. )

Here it is.

Cruising At Dawn
Sporting a Yawn
A Gallant Fisherman
Had Journeyed Long
Jigging His Rod
In Search of Halibutto

But He Grew Old
This Fisherman so Bold
As He Found No Grounds
That Looked Like Halibutto

And, As His Arm Strength Failed
From Jigging His Five Pound Rig
He Met A Seagull Shadow
Shadow said he
Where can it be
This Land Of Halibutto

The Seagull Shadow Replied
Out of the Harbor
Out of the Bay
Full Throttle All Of The Way
If You Seek The Grounds of Halibutto
