Fishing
When I go fishing
I’m always wishing
Some fish will be my prize;
But while I’m fishing,
The fish are wishing
Otherwise.
And all the wishes
Of all the fishes
Seem always to come true;
So all my wishes
To catch some fishes
Never do.

Question: How do you make a goldfish old?
Answer: Take away the ‘g.’
Three men were sitting on a park bench. The one in the middle was reading a newspaper; the others were pretending to fish. They baited imaginary hooks, cast lines, and reeled in their catch. A passing policeman stopped to watch the spectacle, and asked the man in the middle if he knew the other two. “Oh, yes,” he said. “They’re my friends.” “In that case,” warned the officer, “you’d better get them out of here.” “Yes, sir,” the man replied, and he began rowing furiously.
