Catawba tree stands
Scattering ugly cigars
Catalpa worms wait
For a taste of young green leaves
Fisherman awaits his bait

June's pond is ready
Fisherman's gathered his bait
Unsuspecting fish
Swims playfully in water
One bite, he's a fish story

This is really cute.  I'm not acquainted with the Catawba tree. Joyce

Catawba Tree, is also called Indian Bean Tree or commonly referred to in some places as "Cigar Tree".  It is not a good tree to plant in your yard as it strews long bean filled pods all around it. In May or June worms crawl up the trees to eat it's leaves. These worms are favorite bait for many fisherman as I am told Blue Gill love them.
