His only wish, A perfect fish So every day, He made his way Down to the stream To catch his dream. But alas, It came to pass, He got his hook Stuck in the brook And lost his bait, He got irate And threw his pole In the fishing hole, No way to fish, To get his wish, And so he left A man bereft His wish Of fish He swore, “No more!” Now it came to pass, A large mouth bass, Came swimming by And did espy The pole, In the hole. He thought the rod A wee bit odd, And circled round Until he found The bait That’s great, He swallowed it And then got bit, By the hook, O’ how he shook, Right up on shore, In the hole no more. A boy walked by Said me oh my Look at the bass, There in the grass, He got to musing, This is confusing, In the fishing hole Is a fishing pole With a large mouth bass Hooked in the grass. I wonder who is down in the hole, A holding on to that fishing pole? |
