Climbed into the old tin hack And rambled up the creek. Came to where the air was cold. And full of tree and flower scent. Lots of fish there, I'd been told, So I pitched the old brown tent. I was up before the sun, Seemed I simply couldn t wait. Knew I'd have some rare "old fun. And mna! The fishing's great! Made the old rod swish and zig. Watched the riffles toss the bait. Felt so strong and clean and big. Man! The fishing's great? Hours passed. 'Twas kinds' funny As the sun began to sink How the river changed from honey Into dark and swirling ink. Then the long hike back to camp. . Didn't leave 'till it was late. Nothing like a nice long tramp. Man! The fishing's great! How many what ? of hikes? . . . Oh, fish . . You mean Well hate to state. But I got a lot of dandy strikes. Yes, sir, the fishing's great! Oh, take a frying pan and salt, (By hope you're not forsaken) But lest you're trustful to a fault, Throw in a slab of bacon.
