Another season over, don’t ask me if I’m sane
Just 5 more months of AP, before it starts again
My friends on here will understand, the madness I’ve been through
A fishing season at our shop, if you should need a clue
I’ve met some crazy people, loonies I’m quite sure
Who ask me what’s the difference, between a condom and a lure
Now I here you laughing, but if you need to ask
A condom is a must have, if a salmon is your task
The phone has rang forever, a million times a day
Of nutter’s asking questions, with no willingness to pay
They all want to catch the biggest fish, and think I have the know
When all I want to tell them, is exactly WHERE TO GO!
This season has seen miss-haps, but the worst has got to be
When the maggots went AWOL, the fridge got broke you see
So they clambered out of hiding, and spread across the floor
When I opened on the morning I could not get through the door
Wiggling bloody maggots all desperate to escape
Crunching underfoot, just like the wine makers grape
So I sucked um up the Hoover, a good idea I thought
But the dust bag burst completely, and still those maggots fought
But never mind, I have survived, another season gone
Such a shame it takes me, away from here too long
So here I am, fingers poised, ready to write a ditty
I’m sure it will come to me, I just need it to be witty!!

You sure have some adventures. I enjoyed reading about your crazy experience. You have a good sense of humour about it all. Great job with incorporating this into a poem.

I forgot about the fishing season in UK. Maggots - Oh how I miss them. My hubby used to 'breed his own' when we lived in England - bless him, used to hang chicken legs on a wire over a huge bin thingy for the maggots to fall into - I know you'll understand Wendy
Your poem made me remember and laugh, 2 good things and another good thing is - you're back!
