I was out in a boat with Grandad Blake
Late last Sunday at the lake.
He took me out to grant my wish
And show me how to catch a fish.
It was a chance to ask about
Bass and perch and speckled trout
And if we caught one, could we cook it
If we were smart enough to hook it?
And I used all kinds of fishing terms
Like “rods” and “reels” and “lures” and “worms”.
He said if I wanted to get my wish,
That I should just shut up and fish.
He was grinning when he said it
But it didn”t take me long to get it.
