As a fisherman I'm not dumb;
But fishing at 10 below makes me numb;
Not to say it isn't nice;
Many fish from chalets on ice;
My experience has left me thinking;
Most guys out there are just drinking;
To Little Bay De Noc;
The ice fishermen do flock;
For whitefish and walleye they stay;
Sometimes a pickup sinks into the bay;
This winter has been balmy;
We should be watching for a tsunami;
35 degrees yesterday afternoon;
Noodle rod and waders will come out soon;
40 today, at last;
I'll be in the lake real fast;
Over the ice and into the lake;
As agile and lithe as a cold snake;
Finally fishing among the floes;
Bouncing from cube to cube my lure goes;
45 minutes before the cold sets in;
Zero caught, but at least I was fishin'.
