There once was a whale Or maybe it was just a giant fish He hung around in the shallows And all of us anglers wondered if Catching him wouldn't make us rich If only that glory could be ours To win that battle between nature and wit We set our bait and cast our lines And in the meanwhile, we wondered, "what if?" And at the local gas stations we give them our cash We ask for the many itches that we would like to scratch We look at the numbers with all our fingers crossed Hoping that all of our hope is not lost

The Big One
There once was a whale Or maybe it was just a giant fish He hung around in the shallows And all of us anglers wondered if Catching him wouldn't make us rich If only that glory could be ours To win that battle between nature and wit We set our bait and cast our lines And in the meanwhile, we wondered, "what if?" And at the local gas stations we give them our cash We ask for the many itches that we would like to scratch We look at the numbers with all our fingers crossed Hoping that all of our hope is not lost
Inspired by one of my uncles
