The Trout


Out about

Seek out the trout

Who's a scaling sight from sea.

 

Down and Under

Beneath the flounder

Whose body spins to see.

 

I took the bait and asked

"How long should I wait

Before I say it's through?

Should I trick one or two?

And be it me or you

Whose fins fly thick through the dew?"

 

There is where

The fish who bare

Open up just to see.

 

There's not a trick here;

Worm "Strictly no fear".

So soon I'll be catch me.
