What Fish Must Think of Fishermen

   What fish must think of us fishermen
      Do they wonder why we annoy them so
    with wriggling worms on silver hooks
       invading their waters, we weird-looking schnooks 

    Casting far out in hopes of catching bass
       or just dropping a line with bobbing popcorn 
    Fanatics take up the hunt by four in the morn
       no matter the forecast, sunshine or storm

Great fun this poem is but this gal is not a fisherman, perhaps a book”worm.” Love the alliteration. … wriggling worms on silver hooks… we weird-looking schnooks. Fave!

women have jewelry boxes....men have tackle boxes....both filled with bright shiny objects purchased at great expense

Humorous take on fishing, Gershon. Love the word, "schnooks," lol! My son-in-law plans on fishing during our family vacation this coming September. I went flounder fishing on Long Island years ago. Have a wonderful day. :))))
