Fishing
With my father
On the river

Bobbers
Among wide lily pads
Muddy water
Under an iron bridge

A green pickup truck
With no back window
Loudly rumbles
Down the gravel road

A long haired girl
With pale blue eyes
Waves to me happily
As it passes by

And she’s all I then
Can’t help think about
For the rest of the day

John,

I enjoyed this very much.  I'm puzzled by the title.
