My grandpa takes me fishing
in his little rowing boat.
I have to wear a life vest
'cause if we tip, I want to float.
We take our rods and reels
out upon the lake.
We also take along
a can of wormy bait.
I do not like to touch them,
I only like to look.
So Grandpa takes a juicy one
and baits it on my hook.
I feel a little sorry
for that squiggly, wiggly worm
and if I did not need him,
I would not cause him harm.
I drop my line overboard
cross my fingers in a wish.
I hope that wiggly quiggly worm
catches me a great big fish.
Sitting in the morning sun,
I'm feeling rather fine.
Quietly I'm counting,
then, a big tug on my line.
The float on my line is bobbing,
tell me what should I do?
I'm reeling in a great big fish.
Oh NO! It's someone's rotten shoe.
Hi Joy,
ReplyDeleteI wonder what happened to the worm. Hmmm...Maybe that could be the follow-up poem.
Would you consider showing your readers the steps you took to create this poem or a shorter one? That could be very helpful.
