GONE FISHIN

Home I come

Expecting to see My sweetheart Waiting for me.

But to my surprise

What do I find? A love note Just for me.

What does it say?

Gone fishin! You can catch me At my favorite fisin hole.

I get the skillet

Waiting to cook A fine fish dinner For my seetheart and I.

Savoring the flavor

Oh, what will it be? At last, at last He comes through the door.

Where is it?

What did you catch How many, my dear I'm ready to cook.

Dear oh dear

You won't believe What I caught But got away.

The nicest of all

A Red Snapper So nice to hold So tall, so juicy.

Where, how my dear?

Oh my, in wine sauce It would have been So tender, so good.

Then you wouldn't believe

My next best catch A Blonde Bass I cried when she got away

The lips on her

Were big and so full And oh my goodness The gills on her!!!

The last fish for me

So tender and slim A Dolly Vardon She was too fast.

Sorry I am

You've no idea So home I came To my lovin lass.

When next I go

Fishin again I'll have a new lure A Spanish Fly!!!
