Fairytale Fishing / A Haiku (WC 49) written by RL Brown
No buckets, no boats,
And no carrying large totes,
Just Gramps and me.
A pole in each hand
Grasshoppers by the pond bank.
Gramps catches our bait.
A nibble, a tug.
Feel the line, ignore the bug.
wait- then jerk the hook-
A flip-flopping, splash,
reeling in a big fat bass.
