The Other Fish.
Perhaps It's consolation
To sit from morn till night
Beside a wide. expansive lake
And never get a bite,
While bait Is being wasted,
To have this pleasant thought
There's just as good fish In the sea
AS ever have been caught.
To meet a pretty maiden
And fall in love with her
Is just as fine thing as can
To any man occur.
But II he can not win her
