Fishing

Today I went fishing
I didn't catch not one
good thing I was only
fishing to have fun

I baited up my hook
casted out my line
I'm gonna catch a big one
was running through my mind

I zipped up my jacket
as day turned to night
sat down in my chair
that's when I felt a bite

I jumped to my feet
and started reeling in
it's got to be a big one
I thought with a grin

up from the water
I couldn't believe my eyes
was the biggest wad of seaweed
unfortunatley to my surprise

I'll never forget the day
of this story being told
I came home with nothing
but an awful winter cold.
