Fishing

Secondhand news is always filtered
Secondhand flowers are always wiltered
Secondhand hearts are always broken
Secondhand funerals always short a token

'Though I'm far from new, my love's a new bud
Waiting for someone to nurture and tend
Cupid's graduated to a new form of scud
Blasting my heart before it can mend

Blast away little fellow, the house is all clean
I've let go of all that was ugly and mean
King of my castle, I'll fend off your shots
Watch out little buddy I'll kick you in crotch

Don't blast this one, let's take it real slow
Because there's a keeper in this pond ya know
I'm fishing with worms and with song and with dance
I know there's a winner, and I've the best chance

No bait-stealing babies are out in this lake
Just grown up fish that know what's at stake
If I find that winner a winner I'll be
And here's the best part, so will she
