A Jolly Fisherman

Mr. John is a jolly fisherman Paddling his boat with single hand His other hand holds a fishing rod On hook are worms from peapods Baiting only the bean-like cods. Mr. John went fishing yesterday He threw his fishnet on the bay When pulled it back He thought he was having a rock But then, he caught a big shark! Mr. John went back to the lake For his safety’s sake Whistling while fishing Lake was so cool and calming His fishing rod got a crocodile -- hanging! Mr. John went back to the river Singing, dancing in his boat like Justine Bieber Unaware of the log of beavers Boat capsized. He plunged into the water. Mr. John moved to his own fishpond His fishing day was so much fun After putting some fish traps Big and small fishes jumped into his lap Giving him a loud and hearty laugh. Mr. John is a jolly fisherman Paddling his boat with single hand His other hand holds a fishing rod On hook are worms from peapods Baiting only the bean-like cods.

Mr. John has some very interesting adventures in his boat, Len. I enjoyed reading your poem and think it would be perfect for children.
