A Little Fish and a Lot of Beer
by John J. King
I went fishing with the gang,
from Leo's cafe.
I fished and fished, and
they drank beer all day.
A girl named Terry said,
"I never caught a fish;"
When she left her pole alone,
God granted her wish.
And there was a deaf man
named Marvin,
Who made himself understood;
He made so much beer disappear,
He must have hollow legs
made of wood!
Bring in your line, we're moving,"
The Captain would yell;
Then we all sat down,
ate and drank,
And some lied like hell!
I lost one six feet long,
weighed three hundred pounds,"
A man was heard to say;
George said, "It had two dorsal fins,
Sixty teeth and was white and gray."
nd there was a man named Russ,
Who wished he had stayed on the bus;
When the boat was heading out to sea,
He said, "This ain't the life for me."
He was seasick from
the beginning of the trip.
And I don't think he will ever
step on another ship.
The ride home, I know I'll never forget;
it was like a ride on the Dodg'ems,
And I haven't stopped shaking yet!
Stop at the ice cream stand!"
The young lady's voice
was getting madder.
"I think I drank so much beer,
I stretched and damaged my bladder."
Greg yelled, "
The men want a pit stop;"
"If you don't stop soon,
We're all gonna need
a big pail and a mop ."
So the bus stopped
on the side of Route 110,
And out of the front and rear doors
went a few disparate men!
From Behind a bush sighed
a man named John;
"I think I am watering
someone's front lawn!"And that nice lady
that drove us fast and far;
I heard she races the bus
Saturday nights at Star.
When the years go by
and my mind starts to slip,
I'll still be signing up
for Leo's Annual Fishing Trip!
