Fishcakes

by jim vecchio

Not funny but funny Contest Winner 

Okay!

Let’s start with fishcakes!

When I was young, there were big, two-fisted eating!

Chunk full of fish and potatoes

Unique and memorable taste

Today there are wimpy

Tiny little patties

Full of potatoes

And no taste

The reliable, old replaced

I also remember when patriotism ensued

Flags flying all over the place

You just couldn’t get enough flags

The old red, white, and blue!

Now the only flags left furling

Are strange colors

And sometimes

The color of the rainbow
