A Man Needs A Dog

by

Phil Pochurek

A man needs a dog
When he’s fishing.
Someone who’s patient
And can wait.
Who won’t laugh
When he catches a rock
Or get squeamish when he puts on the bait.
Someone who’ll listen
When he’s talking
Or sit quiet when there’s nothing to say,
And won’t bother him every five minutes
Because they’re bored and want to call it a day.
Someone to watch your pole when you’re sleeping
In case you start getting a bite
A buddy who’ll nudge you to wake you
Just in time for that long awaited strike.
A partner who’ll jump in to save you
If you trip and fall off the dock,
And steady your hand when you’re back on land
From too many beer’s and can’t walk.
Year after year we’ve gone fishing
From the bank ,off the dock, or a log,
I couldn’t imagine it without her
When you’re fishing, a man needs his dog.
