Fishing a beer

          As some bubbles ascended to the surface 1

          With torridity, I gripped the gaff

          And forgot about my companion

          Yes! I caught a fish at last

          Letting out a copacetic hosanna  5

          I imagined the size of the catch

          Is it pint or large?

          In extreme exitement I pulled the rope

          As slowly as possible

          To delay my hard fought exitement  10

          My mind is already frolicking

          I was dumbfounded on seeing my catch

          I just fished out a bottle of beer

          Annoyed at my impecunious achievement

          I spit on the  water  15

          To further my vexation

          I noticed or didn't notice

          That my beer can is missing

          But my catch is not a can

          The transformation is evident  20

          So are the bubbles

          With a careful glance I hold it

          In disbelief and fear I jerked it

          Something was in it

          A creepy litle thing  25

          I tilted the bottle

          It is struck

          It has ten legs

          I spit the hook for good luck

          The bait is still wriggling  30

          Its good. Will attract fishes

          Oh Kela..what is this?

          I caught a fish

          It cried "please leave me"

          I said I'm hungry  35

          "Leave me and I'll return your beer can"

          I was exited but I burried it

          "Ok" I said

          "Look on your left"

          I noticed an unopened can  40

          I wanted to thank the fish

          But it disappeared

          I am elated

          I took the can

          I arrived in my dingy hut  45

          Broke the bottle and found a crab.

          I'll enjoy a beer with an uncooked crab

          But I had laid the gaff and baited it with a dead worm

          I have been duped

          The can is a cold drink gone hot  50

          But I enjoyed the crab

          I'll have my revenge someday.
