When we think about fishing we think about men<br /> But the fairer sex too played their part back then<br /> Making fish was their forte on flakes all day long<br /> Always together and quite often in song<br /> <br /> In full dress and apron so stately they looked<br /> Just goes to show they not only cooked<br /> But that too was a forte when not on the flake<br /> As witness the fine loaves of bread on the bake<br /> <br /> Their talents were many no doubt about that<br /> Without them at dances we were sure to be flat<br /> So here's to the females we so fondly admire<br /> And so long to see in their colorful attire<br /> <br /> <br /> A little ditty about the role of fisherwomen in making fish, among other things.<br /> <br /> John Cornick<br /> Halifax, Nova Scotia   Submitted By: John Cornick
