Poem of the Day - April 22

To Catch a Fish by Eloise Greenfield


It takes more than a wish
to catch a fish
you take the hook
you add the bait
you concentrate
and then you wait
you wait   you wait
but not a bite
the fish don't have
an appetite
so tell them what
good bait you've got
and how you bait
can hit the spot
this works a whole
lot better than 
a wish
if you really
want to catch
a fish
