The Alphabestiary

F is for Frank,

...the flying fish from Fontana who chose to go by air from LA to Montana, but a perch in a pond in Riverside flashed her scales and fluttered her fins, diverting Frank to dally in her cabana. Small fry resulted, swimming in schools, so Frank became a teacher of fishes, a faithful husband who did the dishes. He sold his wings to a passing eagle He never flew again but clung to his perch, until he died in a crimson tide in Riverside.
