When the Bull-Heads Bite
by Francis H. Buzzacott (1913)
Been thinkin’, the last few days,
Of the times of long ago,
When we youngsters went a-fishin’,
And it makes me feel as though
I would like to try once more,
With a bent pin for a hook,
Just to catch a mess of bull heads,
In some good old-fashioned brook.
~ Francis H. Buzzacott
