The Fish Know I'M Coming

The fish know I’m coming Turtles line the logs Swans parade in pre-game frenzy Geese honk from the cheep seats Muskrat groundskeepers tend the “field” Bullfrog-voiced announcers “harrumph” the goings on Dragonfly vendors work the crowd The fish know I’m coming The game is on…….

Don't forget the mosquitoes and those tree bass. Got an extra boat cushion? Really fun read, John:)

Very cool John. I like the set up in this and how you have created a sporting event featuring natures creatures in the key roles as you stroll up to the bank ready to cast.
