Gone Fishing
Last Saturday I went fly fishing
I caught three bees, 4 bluebottles
Two wasps, and a hornet
I even caught a cold
But no flies
Last Sunday I went carp fishing
Due to my dyslexia
I just kept catching crap
A rather smelly day out
Last Monday I went shark fishing
I caught a salesman, a lawyer,
An estate agent and my uncle Frank
So many predators out there
Last Tuesday I went game fishing
I caught Chess, Chinese Checkers,
Monopoly and Othello
I got bored game fishing
Last Wednesday I went Spear fishing
I caught the complete works of Shakespear
And a packet of spearmint chews
But nothing I could throw back – like a spear
Today I went fishing for compliments
I caught deep sarcasm, lies
And all forms of bullshit
I need to find better friends
