On The River

 I walked down by the river,

One bright and shiny day

To see what all the fuss was

Cane poles whipping every which way.


One person that I spoke with

Said: we’re casting flies you know

Except Barry there in the tree shade

Who’s tying flies for us to throw


So I wondered what kind of man “ties flies”?

And just what does he tie them to?

And if they weren’t tied down tight

Just to where would it be they flew?


And if he ties them careful

Posed exactly right

Can he then offer a guarantee?

That a nice fat trout will strike?


And once struck with flashing colors, 

Would the trout jump high and wide

Or simply spit out bound up fly

And back into the depths subside?
