Farewell, dear net.
We had some good times together. Alas, due to my absentmindedness,
you were left at the edge of the river.
I came back to look for you! You were gone.
I hope you were picked up by some avid young fisher, and
have many more good times in the years to come – perhaps even more exciting
than the kahawai (plural) and trout (singular) you helped me land.
While I do have two replacements coming, to see which best
fills your empty spot in my pack, neither will ever truly take your place, but
merely offer a new alternative to what is lost.
Farewell, dear net.
