A Likely Tale!

On a day when there isn't much work to be done
I like to go off and just sit in the sun.
With my rod and my line I can have a good time
fishing....

A trusty sombrero I clamp on my head -
or sometimes, I wear a fedora, instead
while I sit in the cool by a riverside pool,
fishing...

As for catching a fish...I don't have much luck -
though one time I did nearly hook me a duck-
but there by the stream I can certainly dream...
wishing...

Posted for  Mag 102, thanks to Tess and Kandinsky, and linked to IGWRT Open Link Monday, and HERE at Wordgathering, for my Sense of Place offereing.

    It's surprising what the discerning eye can see in Kandinsky's picture. Well spotted. Well versed.

      If Ada called me discerning that WOULD be something! Thanks, Doc for boosting my morale.

    Ah, I see you there fishing. And, that's also my favorite part of fishing, NOT catching anything but peacefully day dreaming :o)

    I love your interpretation of Kandinsky's painting. How wonderful when the viewer sees himself in the work of art.

    Really nice job, love the rhyme, the hook line there at the end of each stanza, light and enjoyable. Thanks

    You’ve managed to pull something peaceful and calming from the chaos. I like the ‘flow’ - you had me hooked!

    I loved this, it was so much fun to read. I put my toes in the water as I read this and I could actually feel the water and the little fish dancing around my toes. Blessings!

    The best part of fishing is not catching!

    with such a rod, the catch might be inedible
