THE FISHERMAN by BURGES JOHNSON

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!
