FISH
There are fish in this pond
You can catch if you wait.
So I’m here with my pole
and my line and bait.
Fish in aquariums,
swimming in streams
and tiny glass bowls,
there are fish in my dreams.
There are bluegill and sharks
And catfish and trout –
if you throw in your line
then you just pull ‘em out.
Bobby caught fish here,
So did Jenny and Ray.
you need worms and some patience –
That’s what they say.
But fish in this pond?
I don’t think they’re in it.
So I’m fishing no more –
It’s been over a minute.
