Fine Fishing

Alone I sit by the hole Using a stick as a pole A salmon to catch Without a scratch It seemed a simple goal Sunlight played a trick Felt like there was a pick Empty rod came out No salmon or trout Only a drenched wick Alas it was time to dine Opened sardine in brine Enjoyed lovely fish Without a dish Fishing it seems went fine

Nifty variation on " the one that got away." Your rhyme scheme is quite good. Thanks for your kindness and your concern. Love, Gerard.

LOL, I used to carry tuna cans on my boat just in case I didn't catch a fish. Bet you had fun trying to lure that salmon though. Best wishes in John's contest with this witty poem, Tahera. Love, Carolyn
