Wishful thinking.
Jam and Toast for Dinner
She could not stand to touch a worm,
for squiggly things just made her squirm,
and so she cast a naked hook
into the waters of the brook.
You might have guessed she was not able
to provide protein for our table,
thus proving that old axiom
forgotten by our squeamish mom.
“When you go out fishing, best do it by the book.
No one ever caught a fish with an unbaited hook.”
For the dVerse Poets prompt: aphorisms.
I believe this is a new aphorism to add to your list!
