GONE FISHIN'
Have you ever thought, in your wildest dreams,
Of riding your wheelchair to your fishin' streams?
If you have, I'll bet you didn't shout......
Or rush to try your wheelchair out.
Think for a minute and you will see,
To get there at all....., you'd lucky be.
Just stop and think how you would feel
If your transportation was a chair of steel.
How would it fit in the car you own?
Could you get there if you were alone?
Could you mount the motor by yourself
Or would you end up sitting on the shelf?
Could you even go to that local pond
The one of which you are so fond?
In a wheelchair, could you get close enough
Or would you find the banks too rough?
Now that you've thought, would you like to share
With another....A day in the open air?
Place an ad in your local news
And with others, share those views.
Sure,.....some troubles there will be
But a happier face you'll never see.
Besides....as strange as it may be:
The person you pick....just might be ....me.

If you miss those fishin' holes where the lunkers lurk
have I got news for y'all!
I am in receipt of a nift catalog called
"PRODUCTS TO ASSIST THE disABLED SPORTSMAN"
(Now, Ladies, do not be misled by the name....)
The catalog also includes an all-new fly fishing section.....
Shall I continue? K.O., I will.....
Truly I am impressed by the equipment in this catalog:
Poles, reels, MOTORIZED floats/bobbers, special gloves,
life vests with all sorts of gadgets, cannonball keepers
(Fisherpersons: What're they?), motion sickness pills,
fly-tying kits, pole-holding brackets, ramps, harnesses,
Water Rikshaws, bait threaders, camping stuff......
Had enough? Those fishies are just waitin' to jump from
the stream to the grill.....Whoo! Smell that wood smoke......
Okay...Okay.....Here's the address for the no-charge catalog:
J.L. PACHNER, LTD.
33012 LIGHTHOUSE COURT
SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO, CA 92675

In case you need any help gettin' those lunkers landed,
my address is......
