My Poppa and me are going fishing! My Poppa and me have to get everything ready My Poppa and me are busy and I'm wishing My Poppa and me could go before Saturday! But my Poppa has to have everthing just so So first we check reels and untangle line I aim for the "target" and try to keep it low And get tangled in the tree just fine Now Poppa doesn't get real mad as he untangles My line from tree limbs, reel handle and me I guess my reel could use more handles He said I made a fine birds nest, you see My Poppa said we need to get some bait We lift up rocks and boards to see Those worms who don't know their fate On a hook to catch those fish for Poppa and me My Poppa has helped me forever, you see Now I'm almost 5 and getting pretty good I listen hard and these lessons are helping me So I can do everything Poppa thinks I should My Poppa and me have the boat all packed So much to remember before leaving the barn Box for worms, stringer for fish, nothing lacked I am ready but Poppa said not 'till Saturday! I just love going fishing with my Poppa I can sit real close and he talks with me He said he used to do these things with mama And now he and I are special, you see I sure love my Poppa and know he loves me We can talk and work and play together He is getting old and is helping me to see No matter what happens this love will never sever |

MotherEarth~ What warm and tender memories you've strung together for this. A child's anticipation is such fun ! And 'Poppa" is also looking forward to it !  ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |
