THE ONE THAT GOT AWAY If tame you want 'Tis fools you’ll get While fishing in Life's sea But if you go a trolling You may catch a fish like me Cast out your line-- prepare for war-- There’s not a moment’s peace And you'll forget your one nightstands Heart grabs the tradewind breeze Oh I had loved you mighty Knocked the pluck right from your sails Gave you babes and warmed your nights And handled your details-- And fool you were to throw it back -- A love that topped them all But one last chance awaits you here To heed the siren's call So swim upstream and fight the gales That plague the stormy sea Think of my love that grabs your guts--- There is no fish like me Victoria Anderson-Throop Nov 24, 2012
