He Placed Some Juicy Worms Of Rhyme
On Steel Hooks That Dangled From Poetic Lines,
They Wriggled And Danced Most Playfully
With The Promise Of A Satisfactory Tea.
The Hungry Fish Came Near
Quelling Doubts And Ignoring Fear
And In An Instant, With A Click,
Chewed That Worm And Bit
The Dangled Hook Within.
The Fisherman He Reeled The Line
And Raised The Rod, In Time,
He Drew That Fish Ever Closer, Near
To The Shallow Edge Of Fear,
Where Waters Slow, And Where That Fish
Would Not Ever Choose To Go.
Hoisted High With View So New
Through The Air That Fish He Flew
Then Grabbed, Unhooked, He Met The Eyes
Of The One That Fished
Upon The River Bank Of Bliss;
The One That Dangled Juicy Worms Of Rhyme
From The Ends Of Poetic Lines;
And There That Fish He Knew As True
That Dangling Worms Of Rhyme
Sharp And Penetrating Hooks Could Hide
So When Next He Clicked His Jaws
He Would Be Wary Of Some Disguise
And Try To See What Lies Inside.
The Fisherman Threw Him Back
Into The Waters Which Sped Past The Bank
The Fish Swam On Until Reaching Sea
And With A Novel Thought Had He.
When This Life Of Swimming Ends
I Will Return, And Learn To Fashion Lines Of Words
That Entice With Rhymes Like Wriggling Worms
And As Someone Bites, Ill Make Them Fly So High
And In That Most Unfamiliar State,
Look Them Deep In Their Souls Eye
And Make Them Wary Of Disguise,
So That They May Always Try
To See What Truly Lies Inside.
