    /// She’s The Fisherman’s Wife. Not too bright.

    She’s been up mending nets through the night.

    Her umbrella inspired

    her to know what’s required.

    Close all holes, so the net’s water-tight.

    As the fisherman’s wife mended the nets, she dreamed of a house in the mountains — far above sea level.

    She’s young – the sea air & sun ages you fast. By the time she hits 20, she’s going look 40

    She was told she would have to net a man before it’s too late.

    She sat outside of their bedroom in a stunned silence. When her husband said he needed to “polish his rod,” she didn’t think he meant their next door neighbor, Rodrick.

    An umbrella, a meatball, and that’s how miniature golf was invented.

    If you have not knitted a net/

    Let me tell you it isn’t “no sweat “./

    When a net of this size/

    Lies athwart your thin thighs/

    It’s rough- and it’s worse when it’s wet .

    Annette’s last name was Singer, and her husband would fondly refer to her as his sewing machine.

    While her husband worked on his novella, She fooled around with another fella, Though she was no Emma Peel, She showed so much zeal, That John Steed forgot his umbrella.

    The fisherman’s wife was needy, and truthfully – a bit greedy. She sat by her door, always wishing for more, than a net that smelled sea-weedy.

    The fisherman’s wife

    Paste (including the quote marks) 

    "Category:Charles Edward Wilson" Wikimedia 

    (syntax supported by the Google, Yahoo, Bing, DuckDuckGo, Ecosia, and Yandex search engines) in the browser address bar (or search for it using one of those search engines) and choose the first Category: found, and once there find the text string wife, and click its link for info and links that point to more info about this roughly B3 paper size painting.

     

    Again, a larger strip image is shown by merely clicking the image in Mr. Melcher’s THROWBACK THURSDAY: MASTERPIECE #2269 (8/21/19) (September 6, 2023) blog entry, accessible by the Check out the blog! box after the last comment. I have added a comment there (awaiting Mr. Melcher’s approval) pointing to info about this artist I used to point to here. So far, only work this artist used here (2 times total, including this Throwback Thursday repeat), the August 21, 2019, strip being its first use.

    Blanch was to embarrassed to pick up the meatball with her toes while being watched so she desperately counted for the five seconds she had to pick it up legally.

    Assuming we ALL stay afloat/

    Til she is old enough to vote/

    I will be quite astounded/

    That we’ve somehow rebounded/

    Though that won’t be a reason to gloat…
