Down the path, and behind the trees,

is the fishing hole I'd like to sieze.

Not to watch the birds and bees,

a fisherman is what I want to be.

On the bank, worms as bait,

how long must I wait.

A tug t the line, is a mighty sign.

The jumping and snapping feels mighty fine.

Line at hold, seeing a small red-

crawdad opposite of what I said.

On the bank jumping,

a crab is at least something!
