THE "OLDEST TRICK IN THE BOOK"

O has there ever

    before in the 

         world

been SUCH A FISH!

Pampered, petted,

    plied with perch

         'n 'poles

Fat and lazy, lives in

    his own enclave---

a deluxe, custom pool

With an awning

     shading it

and away from the 

      hoi polloi---

run-of-the-mill old carp

     and mud catfish

Comes out for posing 

    publicity photos 

of "BIG FISH CAUGHT,"

    "The oldest trick---

         in the book."

Who is he, anyway?

     Name's "FRED."

("Puttin' on a little weight

     in the middle?"

there Fred?)
