Goin’ Fishin’

I think I’ll go fishing today.
Use a worm? On the hook that way?
Then take the fish off of the hook?
Oh yuk, I really can’t look!
I should do what with the head?
Should I be sure it’s already dead?
Slit what? Take the guts out of where?
You can’t think that I really would dare!
Oh, geez, I have to confess
This whole deal is really a mess.
Forget about this. I’ll go to the store
And buy the after not catch the before.

With your laments I quite agree.
A fisherwoman I could never be.  Love, Joyce

Dear Barb:  My sentiments exactly!  I used to fish but I never used worms. It was salmon eggs or lures!  I also never killed the fish or cleaned them.  That's what husbands are for!

Love

Dear Barb

This is a mess alright.  It reminds me of a song that I sang as a child:

Nobody loves me, everybody hates me,
I think I'll go and eat worms.
Big ones, fat ones, short ones, skinny ones,
Ones that squiggle and squirm.
Bite their heads off, suck their guts out,
Throw their skins away.
Nobody knows that I eat worms,
Three times a day.

Love Isobel ox
