    Default The night before

    'Twas the night before Christmas,
    And I was still on the lake.

    Not a care in the world,
    I don't have to remember no date!


    I was a headed twards the ramp when what should appear?,
    a great big ol stump!.. my graph show it quite clear.

    Hadda think fast, all though I know it ain't right,
    Toss out that marker buoy whilst there's still some dang light!

    Ol' MinnKota deployed with the greatest of ease,
    And it darnwell should have cuz I just gottit greased.

    I flung out those jigs, and then let them fall,
    The fish hit hard, not nary a stall.

    Those were the best crappie I'd ever seen,
    Some so large I feared my knife could not clean.

    Then out of the night there came such a clatter,
    I felt the boat shake, turned & looked... She's a climbin' the ladder!

    Up on the rear deck the Boss Lady did appears,
    All soakin wet from the swim... or was it the tears?

    I don't remember much after that I recall,
    Can't even remember drivin home, if at all.

    Now, the lesson here, is to fish way off shore,
    further out ... way out.. even more.

    A nice GPS will guide you all right,
    Far, far away...Waaaay outta sight.

    Good fishin' to all... and to all...
    A good GPS... er I mean "good night".

    Gone Fishin'
    Early to bed, early to rise,
    Fish like hell, make up lies.

    You need to publish that!!!!! lol!
    If people concentrated on the really important things in life, there'd be a shortage of fishing poles.

    Uh huh, failure to remember important events may cause BossLady to become combative.
