Dense fog she lifts slowly down Moose 'arbor way ,
cast off from 'er moorings me ship leaves the bay .
A chorus o' gulls cries a raucous fare-well .
Me 'opes rise on wings o' their own fer a spell ,

works swift , as a storm blowin' in from the sea .
T'day be the one lads they're callin' t'me .
They lays out b'yond where I've ventured afore ,
an' fine ones they is mates they'll make ye ignore ,

yer cares an' yer troubles if that be yer wish ,
t'day we be trollin' fer poetry fish .
Their size tho' they varies can be fairly big .
( I'm usin' me special deep-sea wordin' rigs )

At times they be few , maybe but two or three ,
they's plenty o' sport tho' an' keepers they be !
Me lines 'ave been baited an' cast to the stern
( that be the back of me ship I 'ave learned )

We troll not too deep or these fish they'll not bite.
'tis not very long 'til one hoves in t'sight .
A beauty this one be , me starboard hook sets ,
the battles begun ,'tis as good as it gets!

This poetry fishin' be grand fun y'see
an' them poetry fish ? Well , now that would be thee !
