I ran past in light rain

Black hood upward trousers stained

Fishing rod one hand

Bag of worms on a rusty fence

 

Standing like a lonesome rock

T’was Father's Day and sorry I did not stop

To say hello or catch a Roach

If one should ever approach

 

Black hood and plastic bag

Fishing rod

 

And me without a reel
