To the one that got away :(

Hackle Hackle,
Bring your tackle,
For I see a fish to catch.

But you are pissed,
And your fly missed,
Fish was sly and did not latch.

But it's your b'day man today,
The beer is flowing come what may,
Just don't go bragging 'bout your catch
T'was a minnow, and not your match !!

Thank you Jyonnah. 'Tis true this was dedicated to a young friend of mine from down under on his 21st, and it carries many innuendoes.
Keep fishing
... and writing :)
