Catch a Big'Un

If yer one and only wish is to catch one really big fish,
Then ya need ta stop bait'n fer minners.
If you'd read my first book you'd use a big hook,
An'a bait big n'uf fer yer dinners.
It might take ye' awhile, but if fishin's yer style,
Ya might catch 'im with one week 'o fishin'.
It's well worth the wait when a hawg takes yer bait,
An' th' catch is as big as yer wishin'!

Roy, it was a bit short. You might want to check out my parody of Moby Dick entitled 'The Moby Dick Reunion'. It's much lighter hearted than Melville's book!

Congratulations Ray! Great rhyme and meter. I love the regional dialect and the subject. Wish it had been longer!

Too bad I can't show you the pictures of all the big fish we've caught in a lifetime. Forty to sixty pounders were common when I was a child. I wrote about it in my book, " As I Recall". A few souper's have read it and made favorable comments. Give it a try!
