It’s the start of the day
A fish or two is on the list
‘Fish on!’ I raise a fist
Oops what’s that I hear
‘I’ve fallen down on my rear
But I’ll get there on the double ‘
Then I see this bloke’s in trouble
He’s heavy with water
Yet doesn’t falter
His net scoops, ’Well done’ he says
Now to dry or sneeze for days
I glance to see trousers in the air
Whirling like a windmill the sodden pair
Socks on the bushes, Oh dear!
Face away and he’s in the clear
‘That’s better’ he says at last
‘Tell none or you’re done’
So keep the secret or pass it fast
