Headstall’s Reflections
Chapter 20 Gone Fishing
We poets do strive to refine our craft
Found words to us like a drowning man’s raft
Some would think us souls quite daft
Fishing for nouns and verbs like gaffed
Maybe we are just a wee bit crazy
The distant reality can be quite hazy
Too tireless we are to be labelled lazy
A verse then a shower, I’ll be fresh as a daisy
Throwing my line into the deep
Angling for a phrase to make the strong weep
Trolling the bottom in a thorough sweep
Some I’ll throw back and some I’ll keep
At the end of the day I’ll get my catch
A choice of vowels I’ll endeavor to match
It may turn out I’ll need a new batch
Back goes my hook so new letters can latch
I know to some of you this sounds silly
But the fact is we poets like to gild the lily
And fish stories often end with a dilly
Why, there was that time I had to free Willy...
