Dragon Fly Agony Awareness Day


(To be spoken aloud,
sternly)

Dragon Fly alert:
Dragonflies warn fish
of approaching fisher-
men.

"They're coming,"
the message goes.

In return, the dace
(meaning carp)
don't eat glittering
darters (meaning
dragonflies) during
courtship.

It's an unspoken agreement as old as
the fish are.
