Desperate Measures
(hog wild dip bait)
I baited the hook with a real wiggler
Dropped the line
He didn't bite
I reeled it in
I changed from worm to fly
With feathers and gold spangles
I cast out far and reeled in slowly
Letting it dance and shimmer
Still nothing
Growing impatient
I pulled out the jar
Marked "Magic Bait"
Hog wild dip bait hummmm
I was sweating
I baited the hook
Slipped It in
Look at that Sucker Jump, YESSSS!
There he was
Honey I miss you, I love you, I'm still in DC. you know how it is
Big fish lips talking to me
It was all I could take
I was beside myself
Musta been heat stroke
I grabbed the paddle
Bashed that sucker on the head
This is me! I screamed.
Pay Attention!
I'm important too!
I jumped right outta the dream
I looked at him
Softly whispered in his ear
Kiss me fish lips
I love you
(he opened one eye and yawned)
Good thing I left the paddle in that boat.
