Fisherman

The fisherman sat on the bank patiently he waits for a bite but his reel stayed very lank He wanted to score a good rank but was having no luck at this site the fisherman sat on the bank A few nibbles and his reel sank his bait gone, words he did incite but his reel stayed very lank With a splash his reel it did tank with a whooping enormous bite the fisherman sat on the bank The gods up above he did thank his luck he believed not quite but his reel stayed very lank By now he had got very dank and shaking off a pesky mite the fisherman sat on the bank but his reel stayed very lank

This seemed like a rather frustrating experience for this poor fellow. I will have to check out the contest. Good luck Shadow.

Hello Shadow, this kind of reminds me of my dad.. :) Many times, when we would go fishing, his reel, never moved... Poor, dad.. The mosquitoes made him twitch more, than his poor fishing line ever did.. Enjoyed this... Thank you so much for the awesome entry in my contest.. LOL, I had no idea it was a Cheeta.. I'm actually thinking of running a What Am I part 2... JUST MAYBE!! ;) Honestly, I was surprised, the contest closed in less than a week. guess it was to easy:)... Love ~LINDA
