A True Fisherman
A true fisherman knows
when and where the
fish are biting.
He rises up early in the
morning, plying the water
for that elusive catch,
waiting in the stillness for
a nibble, a slight
twitch in the line,
expertly he reels it in.
A good fisherman knows a
keeper when he sees one,
he knows when to
toss one back,
and when to head for home.
