A Jolly Fisherman
On a chilly winter day
Charlie, a fish loving jovial man
Walked to the river all the way
With worms filled in a can.
A long time expert in angling
He sat at the edge of the river bank
With the legs casually dangling
Got alert as the bite indicator sank.
With a jerk he pulled the line string
Lost the balance and he slipped
Fell into the river with a wild swing
By the ice cold water he was gripped.
He crept frozen on the bank like a fish
Thinking in a mental state quite mad
For dinner what would be on the dish
Charlie, a jolly fisherman was very sad.
