Still fishful thinking…

Earnest Wish by Earnest Wish

I wish I was a fisherman.
I wish I knew about fish.
To be a salty fisherman
Is my very earnest wish.

I wish I was an oarsman.
I wish I knew about tides.
Oh, to be an oarsman
And be on the surf for rides.

I wish I was a captain
Out fishing on my boat.
Oh, to be a captain
Carefree and afloat.

I wish I was a sailor
And knew a conger from a bass.
But sadly, my dear Spider,
I’m a land-lubbing Lancashire lass.
