Noodling Isn’t About Pasta
I never bother
removing tinsel
from a Christmas tree.
It’s impossible, it’s like
removing a kite
from a telephone wire.
Or catching a trout
with your hands,
although
I used to be able to do that.
Dad taught me –
he called it noodling.
Yes, it’s absolutely true – noodling. It’s also calling trout tickling. As for the tinsel, we leave it on the artificial tree, and year after year it proves itself indestructible.
