No Fishing!

The day is bright,

The sun is high,

I wander along, when.........

What's that I spy.

A heron! Sitting bold and fine,

Upon a bright No Fishing sign!

Hey you, I cry,

And give a sigh!

Can't you read,

You naughty bird,

But he takes no heed,

Ignores my plead!

For fish beneath,

The bird has seen,

Down it dives,

Grabs one clean!

Back upon it's sign it climbs,

fish in bill,

It eats it's fill!

Once more it stands and stares,

The fish they shimmer,

They swim and shoal.

And down goes heron,

And catches his goal.
