I Almost Pooed My Pants

A true story that happened to me while fishing by myself...late one evening :)

With my fishing vest and waders, and a found long wooden staff 
I walked along the jetty, on a rock-piled curvy path 
The day had grown to darkness, with no light there to be found 
When something unknown had startled me, when it made a screeching sound 

Afraid of it, I started walking fast, almost in run-mode pace 
Scared to death, and loss of breadth, and whiteness on my face 
For every step that I had taken, this thing had taken one too 
So scared of it, I was, it almost made me poo
 
A nest of string all full of weeds, I had to laugh a hoot 
To find out it was a fishing line, that was wrapped around my boot
It must have clung onto my boots, when the ocean ebbed low tide 
So, I had a breath to breathe, and I laughed like hell...inside

Ha Ha… as a lifelong fisherman I’ve had all sorts stuck to, or wrapped around, my boots (even seen a ghostlike thing) so this rings lots of bells. A good spooky laugh, Charles. Terry

I was so scared that if I didn't have my waders on, I may have jumped in the water (lol) Thank you, Victor
