Saturday in the ‘Goon
Guest Blog by David Caprera
Did you ever get a tune stuck in your head while paddling? How about while paddling in a crowd? I launched a bit before 7am and caught a 24 inch red at 7:30. By 2 when I called it a day, I had still caught a red at 7:30. With apologies to Chicago and sung to the tune “Saturday in the Park.”
Saturday in the ‘Goon
I think it was a boaters’ convention
Engines raring, JB’s blaring
Ear plugs are a good invention.
People swimming, people sailing
The water is the color of tea
A boat staked out on every point
I couldn’t find a place to pee.
Saturday in the Goon
Isn’t there a race at Daytona
Men with guts, but women with breasts
Big enough to give you a bonah.
The weatherman said “2 to 4”
Building in the afternoon
By 2pm a guy was surfing
On the white caps in the lagoon.
Saturday in the Goon
I think that the fish are all gone
If you must fish on a weekend day
Plan to be launched by dawn
Can you dig it (Yes I can). Fade out.
