What Next

I need to write another tale
But gosh, what will it be?
A pirate on his sailing ship
Tossed on angry seas?

Think I'll try a sled dog,
Mushing 'cross the snow,
He pulls the sled with all his might
And goes and goes and goes.

But what about a little fish
Wiggling through the brook,
Looking for a bite to eat,
Trying to avoid my hook.

Guess I'll have to think some more
Weighing all my thoughts
Until the right one hits me
I'll just have to stop.
