THE FISHERMANS DREAM

[CrappieMagnet]

Here's something i thought i would throw at you guys...

Sometimes when pressures grow too great,
it's wise to pause and temper your gait,
To seek a spot in the quiet zone,
a gentle place for a man alone,
Picture it now in your mind's eye,
a sleepy sun, a lazy sky,
With virgin timber of towering height,
a hideaway- no soul in sight,
Hear the loon scream his plaintive call,
relax and let peace reign above all,
Now lie back on the bank of that crystal stream,
follow a cloud,dream a dream,
Then cast a line to that shady nook,
feel the jolt as the fish slams the hook,
Take it easy,don'thorse him-just let him go,
respect his power,play him slow,He's almost yours now,but no,not yet, what arediculous time to drop the net,
Oh well, no matter, it was just a wish,
and there's more to fishing than catching a fish.

1982 d.Smith

My wife gave me this framed for X-mas.

I agree that is really good, did you also read the post "narcotics of fishing?" That is good also.
