First Line: I've sitted here for days and days
Last Line: Has seen a single fish!
Subject(s): Children; Fish & Fishing; Childhood; Anglers
I've sitted here for days and days
And haven't caught a thing;
I've tried a lot of diff'rent ways
Of jiggling the string,
I've held the pole as still and firm
As anyone could wish.
I don't believe my angle worm
Has seen a single fish!
