Watching “Life Below Zero”on Geographic National,
I wonder if these people are even rational?
Their lifestyle is not what I’m wishing
Especially not when depending on fishing.
I watched as this woman went with her truck
To get some food straight out of the muck.
Oysters or clams or some such
This “food” I would not ever touch.
Give me a fresh water lake and a boat
And a fishing pole that works by remote
While I read a book
In a cozy nook
On the boat
While we float.
Now catching one is hardly a chore,
Use a net, and then go back to shore.
Cleaning them, well that’s not for me,
I’ll leave that job to my sweetie.
I’ll fry them up with pepper and salt
None of that deep fried using malt.
Fishing is fine if you like that sort of thing
It’s not like the old days with a branch and a string.

Lovely poem, yes I wouldn’t eat it either especially straight from the muck. I’d leave the cleaning for him too. Well said. 👍🏼

…. and when you go fishing,
I bet you keep wishing,
the fish don’t jump on your line
