the one that got away

onepauly

down at the fishing hole

i dont use a fishing pole

i do it with a handline

and it works just fine

theres weeds i have to pass

hopeing for a large mouth bass

big enough to eat for a week

i know grandaddy is there

i see him when i come here

one time he took the hook

then let it go

guess he didnt care for the dough

from now on ill use a different bait

then sit down to wait

some day he'll be mine

and like a king i will dine

    Great memories - love fresh fish but so expensive to buy here in the UK and we are an island nation.

    Good memory of wonderful past times.
