PiscatoriaI,
She meant to play a sportsman's part
And show herself an angler firm;
But, oh, 30 tender was her heart
That she could not impale the worm!
And when she caught the dnny prize
So strange and grasping did 1t look
She vowed with sympathetic cries
She could not take it off the hook.
Though much assistance she required
To catch the fish. as We narrate.
No help she needed nor desired
To tell a lie about it's weight.
