Ode to Chatterbait
BaitCaster Reel
With your great design In the sun How you sparkle and shine! You sit on my rod Awaiting your turn To let loose your line The Bass are concerned. As I begin my day With a cast and a flip You’re ready and willing Never a slip. I see him there At the break of the bank I’m getting excited And start to shake. Oh, great Bass With your scales how they glisten! I drop in my rogue Then jerk it and listen. I wait for your bite This cast it won’t happen. Reel it in, flip it back You know who’s the Captain. A couple more times Each cast so sublime I see you still there Within reach each time. One more cast This one’s a keeper. 10 pounds at least I hope she’s a leaper! I draw back my rod To make the delivery. Something is wrong What’s this devilry? I look in my hand A sight to behold My baitcasting reel Has seemed to explode! A bird nest I see In the palm of my hand. What was I thinking When I bought this brand? The big bass now laughing At this awful sight The baitcasting reel Has sealed my plight. I hate this thing Why did I bring it? A true piece of junk I think I will sling it! Into the depths Of this horrid lake I hope it rots For goodness sake!! My Quantums and Shimanos Sits home on the shelf Why did I leave them there I’m cussing myself? It has never failed me In my time of need Never a bird nest Has it made. I guess I’ll learn better One of these days To bring good equipment And mend my ways. As the sun is setting On this wasted day I’ve learned my lesson In so many ways. The big Bass a memory My time here is through I really hate fishing Yes, sir I do! Wait till next weekend I’ll show them all No fishing for me I’ll be at the Mall. What am I thinking I must have gone mad? I hate to shop Call the Doctor, this is bad! The Doctor he told me It will be ok You need a chatterbait to relax Some time to play. He made a suggestion For true therapy Take up chatterbait fishing It’s the place to be. I have rig and a chatterbait I’ll let you borrow It has an baitcasting reel Take off tomorrow! As I sat in the office With the bill in hand I guess he was right The water is grand So here I am On the bow of the boat Casting and flipping My chatterbait alot. This borrowed rig It works like a charm I must have been crazy To think there was harm. I can’t believe my eyes The big boy is back One more cast He’ll be in the sack. The rod is drawn back A flip I will give it No Way! Not Again! &%#@$% Dad nab it! This can’t be happening This is really a joke A bird nest in hand Let’s give it a soak! To the bottom it goes Of this cussed lake Bass fishing is grief This was a mistake. I know what I’ll do What was I thinking? I’ll take up the sport Of trying that whacky chatterbait What could go wrong? Chatterbaits look easy. Everyone does it That’s what will please me. As I stand on the boat For the very last time I crank the motor Headed for the shore line. Chatterbaits , that’s it What I’ve needed all along! In the bend of a river With the birds singing a song. I just can’t wait For that very first time. I draw back my rod And forward cast that line! Last edited by JB; 06-04-06 at 10:45 AM. |
