" the Catch "

Edge of the seat quest so you can get there pronto no time wasted Brief bush walk to that spot popular as 'our's' The blanket shaken out sails down making hard ground soft Everything needed for this expedition unpacked hurried yet delicately He shows you how to bait that hook slapping hands at the squirming nature within Concentrate! No giggling! Wrapping arms gently around pulling you and the invention back expressing how to throw forth The weight the meat let-fly into the waters Smiling with enthusiasm first part succeeded Bums fall graciously into portable chairs Cans cracked open as gentle tunes buzz from a radio and into the bush A tug captures attention Jump up Stand strong ready to pull hoping a precise sized meal The creature tries to match your strength unwilling to give life so easily But you fight back luring in piece by piece Until the battle is yours As the day comes to an end the bucket carried contains dinner for the next week There are sincerely big smiles and relaxed content souls
