I’ve become a fisherman.

In World of Warcraft, that is. Inside the game that’s been sucking my life away going on two months now, there’s a little fishing minigame. Anywhere in the game you find a body of water, you can whip out a fishing pole and start hooking fish.

As fun as it sounds, the actual process is a little boring– basically you click once, and then wait a bit, and then click again. So, in the time between clicking, I made up a little fishing ditty to sing. There’s no real tune for it– I pretty much just wrote the words. Maybe an aspiring songcrafter among you would care to come up with a few chords for it.

I sang it in the game until the other players told me to shut up, but I like it.

Oh I fish and I fish and I fish and I fish,
And catch all the fish I do.
But the biggest fish I’ll ever have caught,
Yes the biggest fish is you.

You were my love since a wee young lad,
And yes I know it’s true:
I’ve caught a lot of fish in the deep, deep sea,
But the biggest fish is you.

And I’ll keep fishing until I grow old,
As old as the sky is blue,
But through all those years, I’ll remember my dear,
That the biggest fish…

The biggest fish I’ll ever have caught,
Was you, my dear, was you.
