Fishermen cast out their nets <br />We all in turn go fishing <br />Some will use a rod and line <br />While others fish by wishing <br /> <br />Some wish for so many things <br />Like numbers in a line <br />If the line is lacking some <br />Next time they say that’s fine <br /> <br />Others fish for gossip <br />So they can tell to others <br />No escape for anyone <br />Not even someone’s brothers <br /> <br />Fishing for a missing sock <br />The washer won’t release <br />Hiding out behind the drum <br />With fluff and bits of fleece <br /> <br />You see we all go fishing <br />Not always using bait <br />Just cast a line for what you want <br />Then settle down and wait <br /> <br /> <br />© 2008 David Threadgold <br />Rambling Riddles & Rhymes<br /><br />David Threadgold www.davidthreadgold.com<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/5-gone-fishing/
