A Rainbow Trout

I don’t usually go fishing any more
But I went with friends to the lake
They said oh come on and fish a while
It is something to do for heaven’s sake

There was a contest going on
You must pay five dollars to get in
A cash prize for the biggest fish caught
And we hoped one of us would win

I gave a little sarcastic snicker
Because I hardly ever fish anymore
But I was willing to see it through
So I got a chair and sat down by the shore

It seemed I sat there for hours
And was ready to pack it all in
When I felt a definite tug on my line
I couldn’t help it  as I started to grin

I could tell it was fairly good size
We were fishing for Rainbow Trout
My friend yelled, “Don’t let him get loose!”
“I know what I am talking about!!”

I finally brought that fish ashore
And what a sight it was to see
We weighed it and we measured it
And oh my! It was caught by me.

Five pounds of Rainbow trout
And twenty five inches long
They all said it was really great
Next time they came I was invited along

No I didn’t win the contest
But there was plenty of Rainbow trout
Tasty and delicious I would say
And I know what I am talking about.
