Fishin' and A-Wishin'
Out on the lake in my little boat,
Hoping for a catfish to pull on the float,
A catch would help my present disposition,
Sittin' in my boat, fishin' and a-wishin'.
Baloney sandwich's tasting mighty, mighty good,
Everything's going just as well as things could,
My float goes underwater, and I know I have a bite,
"Bring on that fish, I'll give it a fight."
The rod goes in the water, My sandwich follows suit,
That old Grand Daddy catfish is really just a brute.
And so I say to all of you who never have gone fishin',
Don't miss the fun that you can have, By Fishin' and a-Wishin'.
~ Mary L. White
Mary talks about a catfish in her poem. Well, I don't often fish for them, but sometimes we catch them anyway. Here's a picture of a nice catfish I caught up on South Holston Lake last year. We were fishing for walleye. I cleaned it and it made some nice filets that were delicious.I like fishing,
and I like catching,
and I also like eating the fish I catch.
Nothing beats good freshwater fish like crappie, fried golden brown, with hush puppies, and coleslaw. Yum! Yum!

Joke of the Day
Give a man a fish and he has food for a day;
teach him how to fish and you can get rid of him
for the entire weekend.

Mary did good. I bet you do good on frying up those crappie also. I hope Ken and I will soon be able to go fishing again, maybe this fall. Thing is I can't eat fish anymore. We have given away lots of them though and cooked up a lot of them in the past. Have a good weekend. Helen
Mary is really talented. That's a great poem.
