Ripples In Time ~ Walt Page, The Tennessee Poet

I grew up along a river
In central New York
The Tioughnioga River
A 34 mile long tributary
Of the Chenango River
We were living in a small town
Called Lisle
The river was only a couple hundred yards
from our house
A highway bridge crossed the river
And I spent a lot of time
Fishing from the bridge
And under the bridge
I caught a lot of Rock Bass,
Perch, suckers and carp
The river was only about a foot deep
With slow moving water, so it was
Easy to wade across.
I spent many hours on the river,
All part of growing up and becoming
The man I am today
