Just a heads up, my 86 year old mother was involved in a serious collision yesterday just outside of Woodbridge Ont just north of TO. The car was a write off, fortunately she survived and is being held for observation for a couple of days,,,and she was not at fault either, just difficult being this far away when something like that happens. (but she is a tough old farm girl from TJs neck of the woods) She has always had the philosophy that the cup is half full not half empty, carrying on that tradition I decided to go out on the ice for a bit of quiet time after digesting the news and drop a line and try my luck at fishing, being thankful for what I still have. Well it took 2 years to write a poem so I could use that to propose to my wife, believe me I am not the artsy type, but this came to mind while getting a tug on the line yesterday, I actually ad libbed my wife's poem,,,,here goes hope u enjoy Roses are red Violets are blue My little cleo was silver and blue Your surface was like rubies Your hooks were like sapphires You always presented yourself In the greatest attires Your character was like that of the Maple Leafs You were always persistent Regardless of the disbeliefs We had a 6 year relationship Which started at the CTC Barrie south store Today was your day, today was game on You faced that BEAST like an Alice Cooper rock song You fought a tough battle You did your job well But the line that tied us together Did not fare so well The raveges of the teeth were too much to bare, The reel was smokin He dragged you away without a care And with a sinking heart All I could do was look down the hole and stare But no worries my friend Theres more fishing days ahead Maybe I will catch him again someday And you'll be back in the old homestead Compartment number three Right beside the glowing jig head LOL Hope it made someones day, and made you laugh anybody else lost a favourite piece of tackle Blizz
