"Your Catfish Friend If I were to live my life in catfish forms in scaffolds of skin and whiskers at the bottom of a pond and you were to come by one evening when the moon was shining down into my dark home and stand there at the edge of my affection and think, â€œIt's beautiful here by this pond. I wish somebody loved me,â€ I'd love you and be your catfish friend and drive such lonely thoughts from your mind and suddenly you would be at peace, and ask yourself, â€œI wonder if there are any catfish in this pond? It seems like a perfect place for them."
