Beach Combers Dilemma.


A rod for my own back, telescopic to

boot and a reel to addle my head.


It's a fish killing implement and I a

sympathetic vegetarian predisposed

to humaneness, hence the dilemma.


Throw it into the deep tidal swell, let

Thalassa thrash it against the rocks.


But am I depriving someone to feed a

hungry family, (of refugees perhaps).


Theres a trawler wrecked, livelihoods

destroyed, am I holier than thou?


Who am I to pass judgement, let he

has not fished cast the first troll.
