PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Down to the fishin' hole I went

t'was just the other day

and this big old fish swam back and forth

just like he was at play

I think that he was teasing me

for he'd come swimming to the top 

seemed he looked me in the eye

and then give his tail a flop

It was a cheerful sort of day

the breze was blowing fine

I commenced to get my pole all ready

and tie on my hook and line

and so I sat upon the bank

just hoping he would bite

but he was smart and stayed away

and I could not catch that silly fish

tho I tried with all my might

but I'll be back tomorrow

and I'll catch him if I can

But next day I couldn't fish at all

and I didn't bring my pole

but I swore I heard him laugh at me

down in that fishing hole

But I'll be back, just wait and see

and it's my fervent wish

to come tomorrow sun up

with my worms and pole

and catch that silly fish
