Beginners Luck
You know how they say,
you can’t make
this stuff up...
(True story!)
As fishing stories go,
this is not a story
of the one that got away.
This is a story of
four fish that didn’t.
We started out
feeling fine,
everyone having a good time.
fishing on the pear.
For beginners luck
I was catching fish
two at a time.
I was confident
and in control,
I politely avoided a lady
who was offering
to rub your fishing pole.
Lucky for us the water
was warm and not that deep.
I pulled my fourth fish
out of the water.
And then it was time
to get on the boat.
Well, as it turns out
things didn’t go my way.
I couldn’t catch a fish
while on the boat all day.
The next time we go fishing
I will exercise
a little more control,
and let that lady
rub my fishing pole.
