While competing in the Rakaia Salmon Fishing Ann.Comp... after about an hour, I decided that perhaps my chances of winning the poetry prize might be higher than catching a salmon... hence this poem was entered and read by the compere... Mr Jon Gadsby - in the style of 'Sam Hunt' which was quite funny as it was just a 'thing' he decided to do... which won me a spot prize...

*** Last time, This time ***

by 'Jan Johns'

Last time I fished before today
Was up near Cape Reinga Way
Not my usual 'cup-of-tea'
Really, that's ok by me.
Last time was in the Tasman Sea
This time - river-stones were by me.
Both times, I have had some fun,
But fish I caught: not-a-one.
Next time "my precious"
"It will be mine"
OH SO FINE....
