Mr.Cain seems fit and able,
to enchant others with a fable,
whereas the worthy Mr.Reid,
must still repent upon his deed.
While running down a woodland track,
he bashed the contents of his pack,
a lowly branch swiped at his issue
drawing blood and scarring tissue.
Of course this filled him with regret,
it seems he is regretting yet,
and though it seems his life is charmed,
his child it seems was badly harmed.
Just a simple bump you say?
But Mrs Reid must every day,
remind him when he comes in wet,
that he it seems is running yet.
Drowned and hung and soaked and smothered,
and by insurance badly covered,
Mr.Reid relies on luck,
even when by lightning struck.
One can but hope that he survives,
just like two cats with eighteen lives,
but still there are some folk who say,
"Take cover lads! Reidīs out to play!"
This story has no moral really,
nothing silly, touchy, feely,
just take care when you are angling,
or you too may end up dangling!
Upside down form a belly boat,
a strong chest pain, constricted throat,
and please donīt even mention wading,
when you feel your life slowly fading.
Donīt take risks like Mr Reid,
donīt fill your backpack with your seed,
and if you do, make sure you duck,
or youīll have twenty years bad luck!

Wow, Mike. I'm glad you're back. You'll never believe this: Some guy
was using your account in a HUGE flame war with Forty. I'm glad you
got that sorted out. Nice doggerel, I haven't seen that in a while.
By the way, what was the name of that guy you hung out with, the
poacher who lived in the caravan? I remember some of the stories but
not the details. There were six or seven parts to it, all sorts of
clever woodlore and I recall them being very good reads.
