The Ranting of a Non-Fisherwoman

I don’t know how anyone finds fishing relaxing.

I find waiting for a fish on the line quite taxing.

After an hour, I find the whole enterprise tiring,

And I want to strap on a gun and start firing.

I don’t blame the fish for not taking the worm bait,

Just so I can have bream or trout on my dinner plate.

I understand their desire to remain alive another day,

Seeing their refusal to take the lure as a clutch play.

So, if my horoscope doesn’t predict a great haul,

I will say no to my friends for fishing when they call.

Instead, I will read a book, which is, to me, less of a grind,

Without the added stress that makes me lose my mind.
