Fish for Fun (2)

It finally looked like there'd be a game 

Crazygoose and Lean both came 

Cadmus Clod allowed as how he'd play 

Soon the game got underway 


Deal the cards, 3Gun pleaded 

Lean said, first the stakes were needed

A Limmerick, Crazygoose suggested 

about who might get arrested 


Conversation stopped 

They looked at one another 

The gauntlet had been tossed 

and the inference wasn't lost 


Cadmus touched the mole above his eye

He knew what they were thinking

and didn't need to wonder why

He smiled to himself and thought,

'Let them pry.' 


The stakes were settled, 

the cards were dealt 

The play began 

The tension felt 


Morning changed to afternoon 

The game would not be ending soon 

Drinks were guzzled 

Looks were puzzled, comments peevish 

capped by the challenging words 'Go Fish!'
