Fishing. 
BY FISHER. 
I’ve wandered about after salmon and trout, 
And I’ve landed me many a beauty; 
But I’ve ruined my life for I’ve lost friend wife, 
’Cause I didn’t attend to my duty. 
And many a hike have I taken for pike. 
And got home loaded well in the gloaming; 
And many a row has there been, I trow, 
All because of my penchant for roaming. 
And many a glass have I tipped to the bass 
Who has kept me out late by his gameness, - 
And many the word have I dreamily heard 
That annoyed me because oj its sameness. 
And many a head have I carried to bed 
All because I was bound to go fishing. 
Why can’t it be dene without getting a “bun”? 
But it cannot, so what’s the use wshing.
