Agnes by Tony Cochran for April 26, 2022

No Trout… you do that to KILL the fish already

You pushed it over the brink

I always thought Trout was the smart one of that duo.

Guess I’m wrong!!

But (as if it needed it) Agnes’ vocabulary is improving.

Well if Agnes is giving the fish mouth to mouth I think she counts as an honourary Newfoundlander for having kissed a cod possibly with more merit than those who drink Screech first.

maybe they could try felicitation…

Mouth to mouth with a dead fish is kind of creepy.. mind I have kissed few girls that reminded me of.. fish

To borrow a line from Monty Python, that fish is singing in the Choir Invisible.

“But can you feed five thousand with it?”

“Not without some bread.”

Don’t bother with the resuscitation. Get the panko.

On the other hand, Trout Mask Replica is a good album, after 500 listens

Ode to a Dead Fish (by Perch Fysshe Smelley):

I weep for Mister Flippy—he is dead! / Oh, weep for Mister Flippy! though our tears / Thaw not the frost which binds so dear a fish-head! / And thou, sad Hour, selected from all years / To mourn our loss, rouse thy obscure compeers, / And teach them thine own sorrow, say: “With me / Died Mister Flippy; till the Future dares / Forget the Past, his fate and fame shall be / An echo and a light unto eternity!” / (Flush)

Mouth to mouth… with a carp.
