Fishing

Today I went to catch a fish
To put in momma’s serving dish
I put a worm upon my hook
And settled back to read a book

 

I waited and I watched my line
Hoping soon to see a sign
I played with sand, I played with rocks
Took off my shoes, took off my socks

 

I pulled it in to check my bait
I even added extra weight
Though I was bored I didn’t quit
Just checked how far that I could spit

 

I wandered to the waters edge
And sat upon a little ledge
The water on my feet was mild
So soon I started kicking wild

 

I splashed and kicked, then something queer
Made me holler with great fear
I started to scream, I started to shout
There on my toe, was a big fat trout!
