End of the Line

Well here we go again, this time
I finally caught one with a rhyme
No cricket used to bait the hook
I still earned a second look

The sweet refrain of mockingbirds
The song of love in springtime
Who's caught here with lovely words?
The fisherman, on wrong end of line

Reel me slowly please sweetheart
I'm not that great a catch
Take more looks before you start
You might just throw me back

There's bigger ones, and stronger ones
Oily ones and scrod
And even pretty colored sons
Of great big momma cod

I'll adorn your tank so well
And please you with my eye
So boat me baby or give me hell
Either way I'll try
