Fishin For A Smile Poem by Smoky Hoss

I'm walkin down the street
like ol Fats Domino;
walkin down the street
wonderin where to go -
I've got a fishin pole
and a diamond ring;
I can't fish
and I can't sing -
I pass a lake
and I pass a pond;
this ole pole
ain't no magic wand -
I got a bite
maybe two or three;
them fish must all be girls
cause not a one likes me -
So I pack up my gear
and head on out;
still walkin and wonderin
what life's about -
Turned off the street
into an old pawn shop,
put the pole and ring
into hock -
Now here I am again, just walkin down the street
still walkin and lookin for somewhere to go;
only now I stroll with a smile
cause my wallets big, just like ol Fats Domino -
