My very first poem! Don't worry ~ it's okay to laugh! |
Once upon a time I was goin' a fishin' ~ I came upon a big, ol' pond. There were pretty girls all over, some with brown hair, some blond. I was embarrassed 'cause all alone there I stood ~ I wanted to whistle but there was no way I could. I decided to be a big boy, rough and tough ~ so I went out there and showed 'em my stuff. I reeled in fish after fish with my new fishin' rod ~ I looked at them girls and gave 'em a nod. I picked out a pretty lass to be my girlfriend, but her beau quickly brought that dream to an end. I picked out another one that would do just fine and I knew right then that she was mine, all mine. I walked on over and sat down beside her ~ that's when I noticed she was drinking some cider. I leaned over ~ asked if I could have a sip. That's when it happened ~ I touched her lip. It didn't take long for me to notice her smile ~ it was the prettiest darned thing I'd seen in a while. We talked for hours; I even forgot about fishin'. To spend all my time with her is what I was wishin'. As we walked off I held her hand tightly in mine ~ her skin was so soft it sent shivers up my spine. From the stories I've heard, I'm thinkin' I'm in love with a beautiful angel sent to me from above. |
