On Tranquil Lake
Stonelick Lake is tranquil
Where cattails grow so tall
It's where the muskrat feed
Before winds of Autumn call
Along its banks, deer forage
With dark and darting eyes
They listen to birds sing out
So predators won't surprise
A boy wears his dad's straw hat
Stands in the cool lake grass
Spends the day, cane pole held
To fish in this lake of glass
The falling sun chills the air
As birds glide in color red
The boy's chores never done
He fished at the lake instead
