                                              A Humble Christmas Fish Poem  2013

       Come gather around my fire and a tale I will tell,

        Listen real close because I don't want to yell,

        T'was the night before Christmas, and the roof was a clatter,

        Santa and his Reindeer had landed, that's what was a matter.

        I'll tell you tonight ,because tomorrow I'll be busy

        with my sleigh full of crickets , it will be such a tissy

First let me say that the weather patterns this spring has got all my fishing water messed up, work has got me so tied down I feel like a sled dog,everybody I know is graduating from some kind of school,and want you to attend,I feel like I have no free time that is not spoken for, and I'm ready for bed, bream bed, that is the only thing I think that can reduce the stress in my life . The backyard will be dry enought to pull the boat up front and get it ready, I've cleaned my rods and tackle ,… Continue
