A Fishing Trip

One summer day as hot as it can be.
We went fishing just us three.

I got my pole a hook and a weight.
Going fishing for me felt just great.

As I cast out my line a fish bit my hook.
Ohhh I got one in five min.that's all it took.

So I jerked real hard as I reeled it in.
That's when my wheelchair begun to spin.

I fell backwards as the fish flew through the air.
And that's when a big cow patty got in my hair.

We all laughed so hard we couldn't see straight.
Remember I saved the fish I caught for next years bait.
                  Teresa Skyles

This is a true story.

That's hilarious, Teresa! The fish went flying and you ended up with soiled hair. Had a similar experience the first time I pulled a fish out of the water. It flopped over to the other side of the boat and I nearly fell in. It was so small!! Best wishes in John's contest, dear. Love, Carolyn
