How to Offend a Fish

I tried tossing a stone into the lake
To mark a spot to leave some anger behind.
If things went right and nothing else went wrong
That stone would sink beneath the surface
And be forever hard to find.

(Okay, possibly a catfish might)

But the stone I picked proved too large.
And when I raised it overhead, I slipped first then fell
Into the mud; gravity and the stone fell in next
Onto my foot, then the expletives began.
Glad nobody was around to hear um.

(Okay, a catfish did)
