I see myself on a dock, along, fishing for fish that do not exist.

Why must I suffer alone on this dock?

Hello, my fellow fishers! A nice sunny day, perfect for some fishing out on the pond, catching a reasonable amount of fish, yeah?

Should we all decide on what to fish now?

I know Kirby could eat, like, 182940 fish, but let’s keep it slow.

Man, we all have to catch 1 fish for it to grow and it be even. Feels really bad.

Yeah, I probably should've thought over that number a bit more. I'm going to change it to 50 fish to start.

Two fish each? I’m fine with that. (Although I’m a penguin, so I should get 1 more)

I'm not opposed to 2 fish each.

Kirby has a huge appetite though, so should be allowed 1 more fish as well lol (^^^ this is what humans call a 'joke', I hope I did good?)

Your joke has been successful. Your post will now gain Karma.

I say we set up a fish democracy, because this doesn’t seem like a good time to be a totalitarian dictator.

Hello, fellow Fishermen. I propose we all fish zero fish today, to let the stock increase.
