Tahera Mannan Poet Limerick

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

Gerard Keogh Jr. April 29, 2011 at 8:08 PM Nifty variation on " the one that got away." Your rhyme scheme is quite good. Thanks for your kindness and your concern. Love, Gerard.
