Sense Sonnet - Tickler

 Cute Old Codger

Cute old codger, I look the part,

So use this fact in a sly way,

Got fishing down to a fine art

To get others to want to pay.

Outside my fav'rite bar I sit

With a stick and a piece of string.

Over a puddle I wave it,

Hopefully a sight that will bring

Passersby over who do think

What cute old codger I do be,

And offer to buy me a drink

Which of course is just fine with me.

I do love fishing by this bar,

Twelve passersby I've caught so far.
