one that got away

god took his only son fishing
in a dinky rowboat on a lake in louisiana. they
put the boat

in the water

and fish leapt into the hull until it was full& then
the dynamic duo chose the top ten
and loaded 'em into the limo
and were driven home

to have servants prepare them. over dinner,
they cursed good-naturedly about
"the one who was atheist"

&fed the bones to their cats
