First Line: He had fished in the aroostook

Subject(s): Fish & Fishing
HE had fished in the Aroostook,
And he'd trolled in the Walloostook,
And he'd angled in the Mattawamkeag,
He had hunted Lake Umbagog,
And spent weeks on Memphremagog,
For he'd sworn to bring the fish home by the bag.
All too soon the summer ended,
And his homeward way he wended,
And he left his tent within the shady vale;
But before the reached New Lyddom,
He took all his fish and hid 'em
In an envelope and sent them home by mail.
