GONE FISHIN'

GONE FISHIN' Edward Iacona For the intangible concept of Freedom There has been many a loss of life. In the name of her script for "Freedom", I was forced to lose my wife. It was her sad solution, For her personal evolution, Freedom was her revolution From loving marital institution. In conflicts concerning Freedom This struggle really vexes For I have been re-called to join The Battle of The Sexes. Within this forced fed Freedom There's an aspect that I hate, Having in common with my children Of finding someone to date. There's many an online dating site Floating on the shining Cyber-sea With many a lovely lady whose Bait is waiting just for me. I sniff and write to ladies lines, Feeling I'd be quite their catch, Only to find in sad despair that They think we're no match. Swimming, searching for the right line, To be hooked and then give my all. But, as I keep getting thrown back, I think that maybe I'm just too small. In the matter of physical chemistry I shrug saying, "What the heck..." Most gals don't look like enchanted Fiona And, I don't think that I look like Shrek. But, when her lure dances by my way, To her invite I shall not refuse it. Just because I have my Freedom I am more than willing to lose it.
