Deep Water

I'd rather stay here
where it's comfortable, dry - safe
and spend the day, watching
instead of going with you to fish.

Why can't you fish by the shore?
I'd go with you if you would.
That way I could soak my feet
on the rocky, white sand.

You have a long rod anyway.
You'd probably catch your big fish
while your placed solid on the shallow water
But if you decide not to, I still won't come.
