SACALAIT

Walking through rice fields loaded with gear
Faces beaming knowing our favorite fishing spot was near
Poppa with fishing rod, gun and ice chest
Momma wearing black rubber boots and not an ounce of protest
Kids in joyful tow with bamboo poles
Excitedly jostling to be first to our favorite fishing holes
Corks bobbing, breath held waiting to say
I caught the biggest sacalait
