Grand Pa

>>>>>>>>>>>>>Grandpa came over just the other day,
                             To see if our fishing trip was still on for this coming Saturday.
                             I said it sure is, for there is no doubt,
                             My fishing with grandpa is what life is all about.

                             We would take a little lunch,
                             Fish for most of the day.
                             A good time was assured,  
                             Any time, any way.

                             The big ones we caught, 
                             Or the ones that got away.
                             Will be a tall tale to tell,
                             To my grand kids one day.

                             Grandpa looked over and said with a smile, 
                             This is better then floating down the river Nile.
                             I said thank you grandpa , for taking me fishing today,
                             He said no need to thank me boy, I would have it no other way.
