Fisherman's Will

A Fisherman's Will

I have caught fish for...
many years

I have eaten catfish in more ways than one
bass blackened is not over done
trout over a grill with butter basting
crappie balls fried are really tasty

I have had days I caught more fish than I could contain
then there were days I didn't get a bite and it rained
memories of Dads and trips where we bonded
caught some prizes that I have had mounted

Romance and fishing go together well
poles and pools on days hotter than hell
I've never been a fisherman of men
but I have found fishing gives me a grin

So when I die I ask of thee
put my body in a river or sea
let the fish of eat me,
so I may return the favor, please!

Of sound mind I say this for real
this is my request, a fisherman's Will
