Just One Fish

He’s a small fish Cute and orange Fast and furious Strong and smart He’s just one fish I cast out my line Send out the bait Offer my worm Lure him in He’s just one fish He checks me out Takes a small nibble Thinks me over But doesn’t bite But he’s just one fish I reel in my line Un-bait my hook Throw away the worn worm And think “He’s only one fish” Why does this bother me? There’s plenty of other fish in the sea My water is flowing forever I mean He’s just one fish But he’s a small fish Cute and orange Fast and furious Strong and smart But he’s only one fish So I move on Keep him in the back of my mind Don’t pull him on the boat But I have to keep reminding myself That he’s just on fish
