fishing


a girl sits with her fishing rod
her bait is set in place
now all she can do is to wait


she sits idle, growing a little bored
wonders when the fishes would start coming
or would she go home hungry?


she feels a little tug on the rod
excitement grows and she lifts the line to peek
a tiny fish hangs there


disappointment fills and she sighs
yet she is thankful for with she has
now she has food for lunch


her line back in place she begins to eat
quite surprisingly, she enjoys the meat
nothing ever really tasted that good


the line gives a stronger shake
she is startled but brings in the line
a bigger, better fish hangs on it


now she is confused
should she continue eating the tiny fish
or does the better one deserve all the attention?


*thanks to erica for starting the 'fish' analogy. sometimes it really helps to "objectify" problems cos it gives you a newer prespective to it. o well..wish me luck, going for an interview at pl next monday.
