Three Fish

Three casts, three fish, now that's some fun,
Our supper caught at dawn,
Before the blazing summer sun,
Has come to beat upon.

It's my first time for fishing here,
This farmer's pond so clean.
The grass is lush, the sky is clear,
Ah, what a perfect scene.

But there are rules, this pond is his,
Attention I must pay.
So I head home, 'cause limit is,
Just three fish ev'ry day.

Three casts, three fish, I tell you true.
A fisherman I am.
You think that I would lie to you?
I'll prove it with my cam.

About this poem:
Okay, so it was way more than three casts, and well past dawn before I got my limit... I caught two on the first two casts and got overly optimistic. It took hours to get that ever-elusive third fish. All fisherman are not necessarily liars, we just don't let the truth get in the way of a good fish story - or poem...
