> I have not been fishing for a long time,  
> And I never did mind the slime.  
> I put forth the effort and had some fun,  
> And brought home my catch  
> When the day was done.  
> Sometimes I got wet and didn't catch any,  
> But looking back over the years,  
> I've caught plenty.  
> I guess you might say I love to fish,  
> And it's great to see them fried up in a dish.  
> But now my Lord has called me  
> To fish for a different kind,  
> And it's strange because these are blind.  
> And so I had a different catch today,  
> His name was Bob, and God washed his sins away.
