-MY “X” BOAT-

 Reel Madness was a boat with great lines,

 Unfortunately, we were unable to afford her at the time.

 She was taken out of the water & put up for sale,

Oh, how I hated to do that, but if not, we were sure to fail.

Sold her to another “Ed”, her 3^rd owner with that moniker,

She did for us what we needed.

She never died nor did she give us any reason to feel cheated,

All in all, she was a good boat, although Rufuz seemed always,

while aboard, to feel overheated.

He only liked “hiding” in the cuddy,

That way he could lie down and not feel cruddy.

She was a great little ocean boat,

Never did we fear her lack to float.

       But, as all things in life go,

Reel Madness was sold to a more avid fisherman,

So she could live out her life in the job she was accustomed…

 Yes, Reel Madness, you are sorely missed!
