I went fishing one morning
but after a short time I ran out of prawns.
Then I saw a redbelly black with a frog in his mouth.
Frogs are good barra bait.
Knowing the snake couldn't bite me with the frog in his mouth
I grabbed him right behind the head,
took the frog,
and put it in my bait bucket.
Now the problem was how to release the snake
without getting bitten.
So, I grabbed my stubbie of VB
and poured a little liquid amber in its mouth.
His eyes rolled back,
he went limp.
I released him into the lake without incident
and carried on fishing
using the frog.
A little later, I felt a nudge on my foot.
It was that bloody snake,
with two more frogs.
