Muskrats Attitude Makes Us Happy

...Miss Maddie Muskrat mastered Missouri mud
Reveling and rolling in it in a joyful way
Catfish groused that she was mucking up the river
Bass, bluegill and crappie told catfish off

Sean and Chuck

Sean the swan came to his rescue across the lawn,
Chuck, grab my wing, and we’ll swing into the spring!
Chuck used his beak, as chic feathers t...

Torch Lake Vii - Local Intruders

...My boy and I hung over the Elk Rapids dam railing
Shirtless
With lines swung in the churning water
The iron hum of turbines rattling through our elbows

He lands a nice Crappie

And as he resc...

Memories At the Lake

...Moving to Lake Shore sites was definitely cool
Our home was so large and faced the water
Cameron fixed up an old boat
We held hands on the dock
He taught me how to cast a line and bait a hook

My Favorite Fisherman

...I was remembering my father,
just the other day.
It’s been a lotta years,

Two young boys left in charge of a baby,
A recipe for disaster that’s no maybe,

Take baby to the local fair,
Without a care, they did dare,

Killifish

...I've got a dish of killifish
I wish to eat that silly fish
Baked, or fried in peanut oil
Roasted, dried, or let to boil.

Make me a star-gazy pie
Take me to the Catfish Fry
Lead me to the Chin...

a cure for flappy?
The bum’s been devising a diet plan.

and the lake is so placid and birds they all sing.
All the flowers in bloom and the air is so clean;

A Facility For the Poor and Demented

still angling is my game 
but never had luck with walleye

We're windbound on Wasaksina
waiting for the west wind to wane
We're win...

Roaming the fields in my old straw hat, barefoot, carefree and tanned.
My faithful dog, Spooks, was always with me chasing rabbits,...
