A pleasant catch for a young fisherman,
A four-and-a half-pound trout, Reeled in from a majestic local lake In a trolling electric watercraft. My uncle, the avid fisherman, And our good friend from bowling, A proud fisherman in his own right, Are in awe of my sizeable catch, As am I. Being fairly new to the sport, I withhold my pride and immense appreciation For the spectacular trout, Since their luck was not as good. We dock our rental boat, And my uncle and I head home For a tasty, satisfying meal, The trout providing the extravagant, main course For the fun-filled, celebratory evening With Mom, Dad, and Uncle; I pump my fists, wishing ill will Upon the countless other fish I look to hook and reel in In the future…
