"Young man," laughed the farmerYou have no doubt heard something like this from someone along the way haven't you?
you're sort of a fool
you'll never catch a fish
in McElligot's Pool
So how did you respond?
Did you go along with the farmer's advice and seek somewhere else?
Or did you stick to your desire and proceed?
Oh, the sea is so full of a number of fishYes, focus on satisfying your desire for the RIGHT position.
if a fellow is patient, he might get his wish
and that's why I think
that I'm not such a fool
when I sit here and fish
in McElligot's Pool
Use your imagination and creativity!
Above all, be patient!
