I sit and stare
As I get gray hair
At a computer screen all day….
The clock ticks by
But time does not fly
As I work begrudgingly for my pay….
The creek will wait
No, I don’t use bait
I’d be fly fishing if I had my way…
Responsibilities….I’ll not be shirkin'
For I am accustomed to workin'
Yet too much work can
Make a jerk
…of this “would be great outdoorsman.”
