The fisherman

T'were no fish...

not a single bite...

nor...

the faintest tug...

nor...

the tiniest ding...

from...

the fish'n rod...

but...

that's ok...

tis a little hike...

to another spot...

on a snoozey day...

me pole...

stretched hard...

in me willow crotch...

didn't want...

to eat you...

anyway...

just had a thing...

or two...

to say...

catch you later...
