Slide 1

Slide 2

Of course, when you're rowing, you're face to the stern; / You're bound, now and then, to look round just to learn,

Slide 3

He saw the man's legs hanging over the shelf, / And then, in a moment, he said to himself --

Slide 4

Who, as he passed on, quickly rose from his seat, / And firmly seized hold of the poor angler's feet

Slide 5

In a moment he drew up his feet with a grunt, / And the joker was lifted quite out of his punt

Slide 6

And then just as quickly he spread them out wide, / And the joker was sent headlong into the tide

Slide 7

And while he has loudly been saying his say, / His boat has been drifting much further away

Slide 8

And here you may see him, with might and with main, / Now trying to catch up his boat once again
