Two Anglers



           I

A barefoot boy,
     A white birch pole;
A can of worms
     A swimmin’ hole.
A baited hook,
     A tug and swish;
A steady haul,
     A string of fish.

          II

A white duck suit,
     A canvas boat;
A costly rod
     A patent float.
A gaudy fly,
     A cast and swish;
A pretty sight,
     But nary fish!
