the best laid plans of mice and men....when the fish are biting... |
..I woke early crept out without a peep got dressed in the kitchen to let the misses sleep. ..High tide was nice and early the salmon running hot the perfect plan was going well beat the sun to my favorite spot. ..I'll get an hours fishing in then pick up her special plants ' Before the rush ' was warned not to take a chance. ..Six fish in the bucket as I checked the time I was over an hour late now I'll have to stand in line. When will I learn I'll never get it right she'll yell at me again well into the night! "Those orchids will win prizes," still ringing in my ear the line dispersed ' Sold Out' realizing my biggest fear. ..A puny little orchid every body had left alone was the only one left, behind the blood and bone. ..I grabbed the pissy pot plant and grumbled to myself looking high and low for more on every single shelf. ..Found a few that looked the same twice the price with a different name When will I learn I'll never get it right she'll yell at me again well into the night! ..I removed all the name tags and put them in the back raced back to the beach ready to attack. ..The fish were still biting harder than before a chance of a life time something I simply could not ignore. ..Fish for the in-laws on the BBQ tonight justified my actions as another hooked up for a fight. Billy passed a stubby boast about the swag he'd caught both agreed, this was the day of days all fishers sought. ..The morning sun had left us it's time to get back to the house, it's to the pub the raffles are on I'll win a veg pack for the spouse. When will I learn I'll never get it right she'll yell at me again well into the night! ..Twenty bucks worth of tickets that'll surely get a win, two beers placed before me as I heared the chocolate wheel spin. ..Unbeaten on the pool table and won my vege pack, half cut I put the pool cue back into the rack. ..Time to return to the misses with flowers and the food, not a worry about being late these gifts will raise the mood. ..In time to start the barby and act nice to her mum and dad I'm sure they won't begrudge the best day I'd ever had. When will I learn I'll never get it right she'll yell at me again well into the night! Blow into the bag he said with a stern look upon his face, "You've done it now you stupid fool your a definite drunken disgrace!" ..He locked the car in the mid afternoon sun and took me to the cell, He laughed out loud as he made the call and knew the misses would give me hell. ..She bailed me out without a word then took me back to the scene of the crime, saw the fish and the vege pack in the car with the heat, now not worth a dime. ..Well the best laid plans of mice and men meant nothing on this day, with a simple task to buy her orchids instead I went off to play. ..A ten minute job to buy her plants turned in to the day from hell, will now take a week to rid the car of a dreadful fishy smell. ..A reprieve for me for four or five months until these fake orchids throw a flower. ..When she works it out they are all fake I know I will feel her right hook's power. When will I learn I'll never get it right she'll yell at me again well into the night! |
