Middle of the Amazon
My afternoon is free
Fishing pole is ready
Piranhas come to me
Leftovers are my bait
It’s not too long to wait
I’ve got a bite
It’s worth the fight
A fishy dangles on the hook
But the guide starts to laugh
Because another tourist caught
Faux piranha riffraff
Explanation: While visiting the Amazon jungle, I tried fishing for piranha using leftover chicken chunks from lunch. I caught my first fish! I proudly showed it to a local guide, who shattered my piranha dreams with his astute identification skills. I still can’t remember the name of that fish.
And yes…the top teeth are arrows. I didn’t take the time to figure out how to create an upside down triangle with my free drawing tool.
