I get to go fishing today I checked my gear I'm ready to play
I hook up my boat and grab the beer I got out driveway then I yelled damn it I forgot to load all the gear
Back to the house I drove and there it was in a pile on the side of the road along with the stove
Ok everything was loaded I was on my way It 5 am I stopped to get gas before hitting the highway
I also needed to buy bait and put it on ice When I went to pay my wallet was not here but I had left it at home this day has not started very nice
I called the wife to ask her to to bring my wallet and also I left the knife
Ok I now got back on the road If I don't get out there soon all I will be catching are toads
It just seems to be one of those days everything goes wrong They wouldn't let us on the lake with a boat because the wind was too strong
So I sat at the diner and ate for and hour and a half
All the fishermen were griping and cussing and swearing so bad I thought they were going to have a calf
It was close to 10 am before I got the boat in the lake but the boat wouldn't start I didn't have any gas for Pete's sake
I was holding up the line when someone gave me a a tank of gas he was so kind
He did charged me three times the price I had no choice had to pay it but it wasn't very nice
okay it was noon and I got my first pole out with a nice big spoon
I started trolling along the inside part of the lake When my boat started to shiver and shake
Then my motor seized up That fuel I got from that man was the wrong fuel I had to get towed back and boy that man was cruel
The lake mechanics just laughed at me as they fixed my boat I had to use my Visa which naturally I left in my coat
I had to walk the two miles to the car I got the Visa and returned before they we're finish so I went to the bar
I had a few ice cold beers while waiting for them to finish I went to the boat paid my bill and I was finally going to get to go nd catch some fish
About 30 minutes into trolling I got a big hit I started reeling in my fish when I said oh shit
there was another boat on the other side and I snagged his line but before I could yell He already yanked my 400 dollar pole and real out of my hand into the water he then flipped me off holdin my own poll what the hell
I didn't bring any more poles my fishing was over so I called my wife on the phone To tell her I was heading back to the pier when I noticed I was on the wrong side of a red cone Before I had a chance to even turn the Rangers stop me I was in a no wake zone They began writing me several tickets before they saw the beer cans on the deck then they began yelling at me and grabed me by my neck
I was arrested for being drunk and they took me off to jail Sad thing was I had no more money left to make bail
Three days I waited in my cell to see the judge so my story I could tell
The judge walked in with my fishing pole in his hand that's when I lost my mind They said I tried to kill the judge who gave me 10 years in the can He said I was lucky he was a very kind man
So I called my wife Told her he said I was lucky He could have gave me life
