Fishing Life

Fishing is a lot like life
You just don't make it your wife
You need to cast the fishing reel
This is taking a chance in real
When the first time byes
It's like your life of ties
You cast again
While your try and try again
You get a bite
It's the temptation to fight
Your reel is back in
And it looks like the fish had din-din
You throw another one deep
Hoping this one wont creep
You feel a tug
And and you jump up like a bug
You yank the hook
The Devil's startin a fight
But you do what is right
He finally gets to shore
The rod must be feelin sore
And its the size of a boar
As you end the war with a roar
You just realized
You beat the sinner
Man, that makes you a winner
Don't give up the fight
Let the fish grasp the hook
So you have some dinner
The sense of victory
Will not be thinner
Life is like fishing
Just gotta start wishing
