Jeanne Mcgee Poet Limerick

Salmon Song

I had a summer job at sea
The captain, the dog and wee me
A gill net set boat
And away we float
The salmon all caught with much glee

Most mornings on deck I would be
To watch the sunrise and night flee
My dog I must gloat
Could sing a high note
And he gave our fishes for free
