A Tale of Moe…

It’s not easy being Moe.  I’m a 6lb Barracuda who spends the day in the warm Caribbean waters.  I prefer hanging around Barbados, actually.   I have a reputation for being a scary-looking scavenger but I prefer to think of myself as a bit… misunderstood.  I know what I want.  I know what I like, why waste pursuing anything less?

Im an introverted fish,  preferring to roam the warm Caribbean waters solo v. in a school.  While my looks are intimidating, I generally don’t seek out human flesh to feed on. However, I am fighter when I am caught on a line.

I wish I could say that I have never lost a pole fight but alas, this memoir, penned from fish heaven.  I met my match a few weeks ago when I was caught by a female.  It was an honor to be her first catch.  As much as I wish I was still swimming in the warm blue ocean, I was happy to sacrifice my lonely life to be served on a platter to a group with a voracious appetite.

Quote of the day – “Give a man a fish and he eats for a day, teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.” – Chinese proverb

Yours truly,

Moe the Barracuda

 

I'm a writer and a lover not a fighter, except if I really want something.
