.
Thought That Got Away
by June Nash
.
The old man had a thought today
But like a fish, it got away
He struggled with it in his hands
Wiggling, into the lake it lands
.
Like a great white bass he once caught
He held in his hands a dear thought
Can’t remember it’s size or weight
It is gone now, now it’s too late
.
He goes back to his rods and reels
Back to fishing for thoughts he feels
A nibble or two in the brain
Trying to hook that thought again
