"If worms could scream"
Fishing is wonderfull, or so it would seem
But I think things would be different if worms could scream
The sounds would be awful, how could you stand to look
As you puncture them repeatedly with your stainless steel hook
They'd cry and they'd try to avoid becoming a dish
And through all this commotion they'd scare away the fish
You'd do all you could to silence their call
But where could you find duct tape that small
Its all quite sad and you'd feel so bad you'd probably just give up and quit
You'd throw down your rod and head for the shore and think, "I skipped work for this sh-?"
So on your next fishing trip remember what I said
Leave the worms in the ground, and use fake ones instead

The sea greets you with a fine kiss of spray,
That dries on your skin on this warm summer’s day.
