THE HAVE TO HAVE IT ANGLER
He has the
overwhelming urge to be the best,
This drives
him on, it won’t let him rest.
He’s spent a
fortune buying all the latest gear,
There goes
another stack of money, I fear.
He reads
every angling magazine he can,
To keep up,
he’s forever updating his fishing plan.
He’s spotted
and buys the latest high tech pole,
In hope it
will get him out of his miserable, fishing hole.
He scours
the market from morn till night,
What gizmo
can help him with this perceived angling plight.
The reels he
has, is just not smooth enough,
He must buy
the best which he feels is not so rough.
“To beat the
rest you need the best”,
He’s even
thinking he might have it as a tattoed on his chest.
Each time he
thinks he’s got it right,
A new piece
of kit appears just overnight.
Local car
booters flock to his well stocked stall,
Buying his
old gear, cheap, they’re having a ball.
There are
many others having his likewise thought,
Thinking
angling success can just be bought.
Although he
has the latest kit to hand,
He’s again
out of luck, he does not land.
He never
feels happy and he’s always broke,
Perhaps he
would feel better being an average angling bloke.
Very soon
with most of his money gone,
He takes a
rest, his madness done.
Maybe he’ll try
fishing with just the average kit,
Stop tossing
money into that bottomless pit.
With the
pressure and madness gone, he might just enjoy it.
