 I walk up to the river and in it I peer.

So soothing is the water and crystal clear.

A slight wind from the west awakens the trees.

I watch as they dance in this sweet cool breeze.

Tired is the sun as it sinks in the sky.

Little time left so my best I must try.

I reach back with my arm then bring it down like a hammer.

Releasing my line, in the most graceful of manner.

Through the air my lure soars, what seems like a mile.

Evoking from me, a most pleasurable smile.

A perfect cast, a wonderful shot.

I see my bait slip flawlessly into the best of spots.

Slowly I reel taking in slack.

Just then an explosion, a vicious attack.

Hard I pull back.

Then from nowhere a snap.

The fish was gone to travel on.

An outing on the bank all gone wrong.

A 7 Dollar lure still in his lip.

I hang my head low holding my rod at my hip.

He got lucky this time, but not the next trip.

 

（2）我手機丟了（原創） 

I Lost My Cell Phone  我手機丟了

Yesterday  I  lost my dear cell phone  
which cost me $$$$$ bucks alone.
I was so upset being on my own,   
wanted to hit my forehead with a soft bone, 
or a piece of tofu, but never a stone. 
I searched even the box of ice cream cone,
when my neighbor called me by her phone, 
I heard the familiar and unique ringtone 
being sent from my next door hair salon 
我價值N 塊錢的手機

昨天被我弄丟了

我獨個兒真是忒鬱悶呀

想拿塊軟骨敲自己的額頭

或拿塊豆腐，反正不是石頭

我到處找呀找，

甚至在裝冰激凌蛋卷的盒子里找

當我鄰居用她的電話打給我的時候

我聽到一陣熟識又獨特的電話鈴聲

從隔壁髮廊傳來
