Dipnetting Season
By Dee Rusin, Kenai
The fish are coming!
The fish are coming!
Grab your nets and poles!
Hurry to the beach
Stretch as far as you can reach
Dip your nets — haul ‘em in
Toss ‘em in a waiting pail
Don’t forget to clip the tail
This scene’s repeated over again
Til the buckets or sleds are full
Grab a line push behind
Everybody pull
In the truck back home once more
Clean and then fillet
Now the fisher people
Turn their thoughts of fishing
Another day
