Fishing

Fishing is for me a private comedy.

I cast my line to se just how tangled it can be

from end of pole to tip of tree, from tree to bush to sock.

I thrash about and splash from rock to slippery rock 

and when I've nearly given up I chance to hit the water with a hook

and some poor starving fish finally get to take a look, and strikes.

Yipes,

I am a fisherman once again, that's all it took.

Next weekend I'll be back performing these and other tricks

o'r the rushing waters and way up in the trees.

Don't watch me, Please!
