A Father's Best Chance

A Father’s Best Chance


Little boys need that boat to lifts their spirits,
and anchors to keep them grounded but singing like Crickets.

Little boys need that happy do-nothing time with Dad,
to hitch to the things most important and glad.

Fishing is a snug wondrous trip to the middle of unpredictable
and the best chance to experience cherished unforgettable.

An old wooden homemade boat that leaks,
add to the intrigue and excitement to peak.

Fishing is a great way to appreciate patience and to reconcile boredom.
It is a one way street to perseverance and “chumdom”

Boats are carried or not to water by trailer,
but they really and rather port on the spirits of the first mate sailor.

Boats are an enchantment and wizard of oz in the safety of dad.
A dusty boat is a reminder of what could have been had.

My best memories of dad were on the water and fir.
My worst memories are the trips promised that never were.

A dad can’t go wrong on a boat,
You can even be grumpy, but be sure to go afloat.
