Hook, Line and Sinker

The fishing of Scotland's coast To be honest I have to boast Please come take a look And dangle your hook And join me in traditional toast My favourite place is called Dunnet Head With many species it has to be said One just dangles their line Hey presto! see what you find It's a bite, not the weight of your lead But sadly there has been some stinkers When the fish must have been thinkers For many times we did try In us they espied Wasting our time dropping our sinkers
