REAL LIFE. 



He casts the bait, 



He strikes the hook, 



The distance well is measured, 



He winds the reel, 



He bends the rod, 



The prize he lands is treasured. 



He wades the stream, 



He climbs the rocks, 



With nature's charms delighted, 



He loves the flowers, 



He knows the woods, 



All earthy cares are blighted.
