Going, Fishing?

We hop in the car
And go for a ride
Down to the lake
Family fishing trip

Get out the poles
The hooks and bate
Out on the water
Ready for the day

My pole ready
I snap it back
Then forward
It doesn’t budge

Turning around
And what do I see?
The pole is now stuck
In the large oak

I shouldn’t go fishing
Now I know why
All I really caught
Was the tree behind
