On a lake
Written by Lauren Beziers
I was on a lake
Not walking
I was sitting in a boat
Not laughing
The bearded young fellow
Who rowed us to the middle
Was annoying me
Intensely
I said "So you are going to catch a fish then ?
And he replied
In a twinkle of an eye
That "the time was not right for
Pike"
The air was damp
I felt damp
And the lake was grey to black
I called to my
Mother on the bank
With her paper and pipe
To "stop knitting"
But she ignored me
My bearded young fellow
Rowed us back
And he gallantly helped me out
I said "I never want to see this lake again"
To which he replied "nor me"
Its the fickle nature
Of the mood of day
That can turn you against
The things you should love best
And in keeping with this universal tide
I enjoyed a marvelous day out by a lake
Not three weeks later
But the bearded man
Was replaced by
Smooth faced
Handsome young buck
And I was three weeks older and wiser
We caught a fish that day
And ate it with tartar sauce
All felt beautiful and dreamlike
