A Jolly Fisherman
He loves catching fish,
It’s his everyday wish,
At dawn, he sets his boat ready,
Even though his boys are sometimes heady,
Off he goes for a bounty catch,
The weather is never a match
to hinder his jolly sail,
Eating fish is his family’s daily diet,
Some are also kept for sale,
Some smoked and wrapped in a serviette,
He takes along on his journey,
Sunny days are his best days,
Fishes seem attracted to his rays,
His pockets are buoyed with money.
