Snag O Rama

Me,my dad and sister Robyn. Went a fishin with a bobbin. I hooked a tire and realed it in. A big ole bullhead was in the bin. So Dad said, quit your sobbin. I told my brothers what I caught. Their disbelief is not what I sought. My Brother Scott said I was lying. Brother Terry said quit your crying. Mother said, don't give it another thought. I've told this story many times. And now I've told it with some rhymes. The best part is, is that it's true. And with one more line it will be through. Fishin's fun if you don' mind the slime.

A true story! I've caught all sorts of things from the bottom of the rivers and sea, but no tire yet. Very funny, Robert. Congratulations on your win! Love, Carolyn
