Wishin' I was a Fishin'

I wish this statement to be true

but I wouldn't be honest with you,

as much as I want to be fishin'

tis true I really am only wishin'

Even with posts ready through May

I forgot I needed one for today

although a good idea to go a fishin'

saying something now is my mission

For three years I've posted every day

I am pleased to have had my say

finding something to say is much like fishin'

they both can be like those cousins kissin'

I have tried my best to be wise and witty

thanks to you all who have extended pity

maybe you think I should now be fishin'

I can hear all your groans and quiet hissin'

Is it worth it not to miss a date?

how many would say it's my fate?

keep in mind its to cold to be fishin'

so please would you refrain from bashin'?

Please read this little ditty with pleasure

after all one man's trash is another's treasure

and you might be happy I'm not fishin'

Yes, I know I should be blushin'

In my defense some poems are worse

 this pathetic ditty won't fatten my purse

the time it took did keep me from fishin'

but I think I will just stick to preachin'
