Naming the Parts - Tomorrow We Set Up Our Tackle Boxes

Today we have naming of parts. Yesterday,
We had daily cleaning. And to-morrow morning,
We shall have what to do after firing. But to-day,
To-day we have naming of parts.
Today Tommy set up twenty-five outfits. Japonica
Glistens like coral in all of the neighboring gardens,
And to-day we have naming of parts.

Today we set up our tackle boxes.
Yesterday we shopped online.
This tray is for surface lures, and here I will keep my swivels and jigs.
This tray is for deep divers, the Strike King 10X.
This is the bail, the drag, the line spool filled with heavy braided line
whose use you will see when we get out on the water.

This is the lower sling swivel. And this
Is the upper sling swivel, whose use you will see,
When you are given your slings. And this is the piling swivel
Which in your case you have not got. The branches
Hold in the gardens their silent, eloquent gestures,
Which in our case we have not got.

This is the dildo, made for big fish. This is a special
compartment for the musky baits which might bring
us a very big fish and thrill of a lifetime; a thrill for Thrill Bill.

This is the safety-catch, which is always released
With an easy flick of the thumb. And please do not let me
See anyone using his finger. You can do it quite easy
If you have any strength in your thumb. The blossoms
Are fragile and motionless, never letting anyone see
Any of them using their finger.

This is the cabin and the couch and the TV.
There is the stove where Adam prepares our breakfast.
And here is the grill where the steaks will be sizzling
And here are the chairs where we will smoke our Cubans.

And this you can see is the bolt. The purpose of this
Is to open the breech, as you see. We can slide it
Rapidly backwards and forwards: we call this
Easing the spring. And rapidly backwards and forwards
The early bees are assaulting and fumbling the flowers:
They call it easing the Spring. We work our lures backwards and forwards.

And this you can see is the thrown were Adam
grunts a bowel movement and Tommy reads
his walleye magazines while he waits for something to come out.
We call this a kind of easing. Simple pleasures my friends.
.
They call it easing the Spring: it is perfectly easy
If you have any strength in your thumb: like the bolt,
And the breech, and the cocking-piece, and the point of balance,
Which in our case we have not got; and the almond-blossom
Silent in all of the gardens and the bees going backwards and forwards,
For to-day we have naming of parts.

They call it fishing, boating, bonding, relaxing, enjoying
creating memories that last a lifetime.

Nice fish.
