The one that got away
Author: Unknown
Gone fishing, won't be back till late, gonna catch me a big un, boy I just can't wait
Been trying for years to catch this fish, it's as big as my arm, if not a foot longer, this time i'm gonna win, i'm leaner, fitter and stronger
Hours passed by, not a bite in sight, until the line jerked, i've got it I yelled!!!...and reeled him in with all my might
I raised my line and to my suprise, it was a tiddler on the end, a finger bite size..
'This is not good' I said with a sigh, how can I go back empty handed with just this tiddler, not enough to fill a pie
I headed back home with an empty basket, my dreams of catching the big un, it would of filled a casket
Took me a detour and went to the pub, wanted to quench my thirst to drown my sorrows, no catch, no pike, not even a chub
Still, I thought, a tall tale wouldn't go astray, I'll tell the lads in the local about the one that got away
'Oooh, it was as big as a house I said, I struggled so much I fell in the lake, I was such a mess
By the time I'd finished the story, you'd have thought I cought good old Ness....Or should I say Nessie, the Loch Ness Monster!!!

I love to go fishing and it made me think of the one time I was fishing off the jetty in NJ.,and after much struggle all there was on the line was 1 small muscle.LOL It was so funny.
Nice work, Kyri..JG...
Maybe when fishing next time..one shouldn't side-step the little tiny fish..I believe when cared for..they grow..into megga Big Fish! Food for thought...
Ljj..
