Best Bait Poems
Arrogant BaitTrue arrogant bait
Someone I'd never date
He lured me to his game
My sanity…his claim
Passion hijacking my thoughts
Drafting erratic plots
No one I could tell
A selfish little spell
Risks so uncalculated
Common sense castrated
He plead for it not to end
I could no longer pretend
Cashing in lust for security
Stacking chips of...

The Bloke Who Sells the BaitAnother long weekend’s upon us and we’re ready, set to go,
To get amongst the bream again, along the river Tambo.
Our adrenaline is rushing and we’re really bloody keen,
To celebrate with fishing while, we’re toasting to the queen…
And when arriving Friday night,
We were told the fishing’s...

The Wrong BaitIf I were to go fishing all day,
would you get mad and send me away,
'cause while the fish were biting
my ex was out man-sighting...
I ended up with no place to stay....

Gator BaitCountry living in New Hampshire was like heaven on earth.
It was Nature in her glory with the spring’s rebirth.
We owned a big pond and had the wildlife come around…
It was beautiful tranquility that left us spellbound.
It’s city living for me now in Georgia, and a...

Bait and SwitchNo tugs at his line; it just goes limp
Mighty fisherman feels like a wimp
Looking back at his bait box
Wasn’t prepared for the shock
A gull flew off with one of his shrimp
I was talking to an...

Shark BaitCome and listen to my story 'bout a man named Ted
A poor fisherman, barely kept his family fed
Then one day he was fishing for some bass
When he slipped in his boat and fell on his ass
Then a big wave came, overturned...

Bait and Switch
The devil done put a new face
on an old sales technique
It's brash, it's bold
It's tricky sweet
But it tastes sour, this maggot treat
He swapped the fresh for the spoiled meat
Had to bait the trap good,
hide the kill switch under the hood
Alternative facts is the new money...

Fish BaitFish bait
What does a fisherman use for his bait?
That keeps him out fishing so often so late?
Fish is the answer in many a case
Which he casts in the waters in this and that place.
He tells himself that he ‘has a family to feed,
But he...

Hiding In Plain SightI had my plan memorized,
and I picked the right time.
I walked into the bank
when there was no line.
I walked up to the teller
and presented a note.
She hadn’t lived my life,
you see, I was going for broke.
With a white painter’s cap,
matching sweat...
