Lou Went a'Fishin'

Old Lou went out to seek some sport and try to catch some fish
water was running fast and high
but still he got his wish
almost
..
a bass, a pike or even trout
were fishes that he sought
but by the time the day was done
one fish was all he caught
..
it seems old lou leaned back against a tree to take a nap
Fish pole propped up against a stick eyes shaded by his cap
..
When suddenly the rod tip twitched and then began to shake
Lou jumped up and grabbed the pole
now fully wide awake
.
The fish took off and headed south
the taste of metal in its mouth
giving a terrific fight
Lou just held on with all his might
.
Lou's arms were screaming from the pain
the massive fish pulled like a train
swam past a dock and 'round the bend
Lou's line was comming to the end
.
Lou reeled line in when he could
and gave it back when e'er he should
trying real hard to keep his cool
looked at the reel could see the spool!

.
Looked like the fish was going to win
and Lou would never get him in
a fish that fought like Mr Jaws
Lou didn't know yet what it was
.
Then just when things were looking black
that fish turned 'round and headed back
Hey hold the phone hang up that call
he just might catch him after all
.
Lou reeled in line with vigor new
the fish would soon come into view
the wake it made on every pass
My Gawd look at the size of that......carp?

So Lou is posting on the board
to try and find a way
to cook his prize so that his wife
and family don't say.....
...yuck
..
Well Geo had a bright idea
here's what he had to say
'Lou, cook the fish wrapped up in leaves THEN THROW IT ALL AWAY! ! '
.. HURRAY! ! ! !
