Son and dad <br />Headed to the lake <br />With 2 rods and some bait <br />To enjoy fishing in the summer break. <br /> <br />Son and dad went head to head, <br />Competition it is, they both said. <br />Catching the biggest fish was the criteria to win <br />Drowning their rods in the water they let the challenge begin. <br /> <br />Each keeping as quite as can be <br />To avoid shooing away the fish and see them flee. <br />The dad's rod wobbled, he caught a fish <br />It was big as big as every competitor's wish. <br /> <br />'I won, I won' dad declared <br />All the son did was to stare. <br />He had to win this fishing war <br />so he chalked out a plan no less than bizarre. <br /> <br />The father walked back home with the big fish <br />But the winner was the son, thus fulfilled was his wish. <br />The son walked back home with pride <br />For he had caught a bigger fish thanks to the plan he applied. <br /> <br />The collar of the father's shirt was hooked to the son's rod <br />His dad was his 'big catch', his plan i applaud. <br />To win the challenge his wit was all it took <br />thus defying fishing tips from every book. <br /> <br />The fishes will love you if you hear me today, <br />Follow your wit like the son in the story did is what i have to say. <br />Just catch your dad, son or whoever it maybe <br />But leave the poor fishes alone, happy they'll surely be. <br /> <br /> <br />(11 May,2006)<br /><br />.Pd. is here<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/this-will-make-the-fishes-happy/
