Ice Fishin

I'm sittin here on a block of ice
And, no, my hemorrhoids don't feel nice

In fact I can't even feel my toes
There's icicles forming on my nose

My knees are frozen - locked up tight
My beer is chunky -but that's alright

The fish are kinda biting slow
The temp outside is 10 below

I'm lookin at a bobber in a hole
I'm holdin on to my fishin pole

I'll catch my limit with a little luck
Then I'll walk the 1/2 mile to my truck

Tomorrow I'll remember the heater gas
I'm sick and tired of freezin my ass

I applaud anyone who can withstand the cold. If it's less than 50 degrees, I want no part of it! Very witty poem, nice and light, and quick to amuse. I don't think hemmorhoids looks right, but don't have a dictionary in front of me. ~Jess ---------------------------------------------------- "Maybe in your vision, you've seen how omniscient is slightly less than divine.

The H word

Yeah you're correct miss, sorry to misspell such an interesting word. I went to the bathroom to look it up on the Preparation H tube. (1 M - 2 R's)

Thanks for the comments

It's funny how a thought about sitting in a cold ice fishing shack can pop into a guys head on a hot day in July; and then you dash off a little rhyming poem that is a piece of nonsense and people actually like it. I guess summer is probably the best time to write about winter.

Take a look at the mirror...

Edevold, Your poem is nice and I like it. I also see creativity in action. I try to put myself in you situation. I can see my wastepaper basket full to the brim in an attempt to get the rhyme. The funny part is your reflection on your work which you call 'a piece of nonsense'. It is not nonsense, at least, you look back and laugh at yourself. Cheers
