Working She Thought I Be

so there I was fishin just because working I told her I be she didn't know my where abouts or me in's and me outs bet her I'm home by 2 or 3 trolling a long scratchin my ding dong happy as could be so there I was don't know why it do's what it does It was a sound so eerie then there was a pop the outboard came to a stop stranded there I be so I ate a moon pie in style drank RC cola awhile and stared at the sea then I knew it wasn't the end but there came a little wind and capsized I be so there I was all alone and was scared to the bone all around me was sea before me flashed my life and my beautiful wife a widdow, she will be I knew I wouldn't fail her I'm the son of a sailer tuffer than nails I be so without my boat I did the dead mans float and swam, when I, had energy oh how I wished I didn't get jellyfished stinging, all over, me "god I can't tell you where to begin" "promise I won't do it again!" "fishing, she'll know I be" "so if I had another chance" "I just pooped in my pants!" "I won't, let you, down you see" "so forgive for my sin" "and I'll say amen" "I sure, hope, you hear me" I almost gave up but I kept my chip up it just wasn't meant to be so with all that I am I kicked hard, paddled, and swam then a shrimp boat I see then with god I made a bet when it passed by I'd grab the net thankfully saved I be well I was no longer alone and on my way home hero's they were to me and though I was wet my wife lost the bet made it home by a quater to three..... ..............am By Captain Mike
