THREE WISE MEN

Three very wise old fishermen  Approached the river's edge. Whereby observed a huge brook trout,  Feeding 'neath the grassy ledge. Said the first old wise one,  To the other two, "Gentlemen, I dare tell ya both,  What 'tis we should do." "So future generations do,  See how much we really care. I think we should leave 'em be,  For the younger boys to share." "Me too," the second man agreed,  "We should leave him free, 'Cause he's the very kind of trout,  Our grandkids would love to see." "I can also see he's just under,  Three pounds, yet for sure. So yes sir, with you and your wisdom,  By all means, I do concur." The last old man jumped in the water,  Hollered, "You both went 'plum-crazy' For that's the very three pound brookie,  My granddaddy'd left for me!"
