WISHFUL FISHING
Good Evening.

If I had the time I d fish for trout Spend day a rampsh lont, Way way of some purlng stream Where I'd be far away from the sirens scream The crazy noises in city streets, And the endless tramp for vegetables and meats. If I had the time I'd just go fishing, Far removed from factory sounds and just wishing That had enough potatoes to fill my bin, And that day my ship would come in That living was not quite so desperately hard That could buy my mutton without ration card. If had the time I'd fish for trout, He me off with hey nonny and a luSty shout Get into the old duds, get my bait and fish line Sniff the clear air strong wine. If I had the tme-well what's the use wishing, And anyhow don't know thing about fishing
