Marsh Rat Date: Friday, 7th November 2014 @ 11:24:11 AM AEST Topic: Sad Poetry Contributed By: Beyfoxman5 Forget me shoes, grab my hat A mouse is prowling,  set the trap Trying to catch fish, taking their nap, I'm a certified, all star marsh rat. Not concerned, about rain coming, It's the tides, tell me what's running, Small rumble, can't be thunder You can catch me, bobbing flounder Don't care  about deer,or angry steer Jumping on the boat in high gear, Hopping out, toes in sand Wishing and digging, for some clams Forget my shoes, grab my hat A mouse is prowling,  set the trap Trying to catch fish, taking their nap, I'm a certified, all star marsh rat. Water rising, reverse recede glancing around, what do I need? Boats abound, a slow bite Floating crab pot, a dog fight. Sun setting, blue soup in mug Shaking my head, for Foxy's hung A step to the left, and one to right Trusty line broken, in for the night Forget my shoes, grab my hat A mouse is prowling,  set the trap Trying to catch fish, taking their nap, I'm a certified, all star marsh rat. And for supper, no restaurants Just anything, whatever you want Whitey and blue, welk or conk Or boiling crab, on hot tongs Head hits pillow, soon I dream Close to my Honda, beer in reach Kids to raise, mouths to feed without shoes, salt water I bleed. Forget my shoes, grab my hat A mouse is prowling,  set the trap Trying to catch fish, taking their nap, I'm a certified, all star marsh rat.
