Fish Tale

 FISH TALE

once as a boy

fishing the mill pond

past the time

and if at day's end

no catch came

no real care

nowadays 

between the nibbles

and snags

a mudcat looks good

even if it's not

the mermaid

i dream of

tomorrow 

i'll wake and

cast my line

and maybe

just maybe

hook the whopper

once and for all
