the downward spiral
(by an atlantic canadian)

the bye couldn't believe 'ow easy it was, eh?
aye cast the line into the ocean
splash!
(so much cod for such a tiny hook)

worms make good bait, eh?
a lifetime of casting and jabbing all fixed in the blink of a whipper-snap

the ocean is blue like the pearl of ye' old sea
filled with dem big fish
the deepest shade of these here silverfish blue
aye is fuzzy
as it comes off the hook, eh?
