I was at the end of the dock slowly reeling in my line.
I could see fish jumping...

He never called me by my name!
I was always Butch to him!

Fishing was...

You pack up all your fishing gear
On the night before
Then you wake up very early
And you head on out the door

At the most, do not know...

Two friends go out fishing,
it was a lovely day.
You cannot beat this pastime
to dwindle time away.

They park beside a bridge
get on their fishing gear.

Further down the road
coming from afar,

Sometimes they smile instead….
Sometimes...

Asked it how things were going?
