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.
