Gone Fishing

 

Fishermen cast out their nets 

We all in turn go fishing 

Some will use a rod and line 

While others fish by wishing

Some wish for so many things

 Like numbers in a line 

If the line is lacking some 

Next time they say that’s fine

Others fish for gossip 

So they can tell to others 

No escape for anyone 

Not even someone’s brothers

Fishing for a missing sock 

The washer won’t release 

Hiding out behind the drum 

With fluff and bits of fleece

You see we all go fishing 

Not always using bait 

Just cast a line for what you want

 Then settle down and wait
