Fishing with Dad

I love fishing with dad.
He feeds them and I catch them.
We take our fishing rods and lures,
Our hooks, sinkers and then some.

Anywhere, anytime, any day.
I can teach you what I know.
Cause I am fast with my cast,
And the silly fish are slow.

We go to the special place,
To get some quiet and space.
The water is blue, the trees are green, the sand is soft as cream….
And I’m the happiest boy you will ever see.
