Only a few days ago Elmer Flick,

Jones has rods that are steel-banded
Reels that run by hidden springs.
Lines OF linen many-stranded.
Gaffs and floats and other things.
He has flies-they come in booklets
And 1 smile when we go out
To work over pools and brooklets
After trout.
Jones has every known appliance
To entice the fish to bite.
He can talk about the science
or the sport from morn to night;
He wears weird and wondrous garments
And hat with Tapping brim,
And has metal bugs and varmints
Pinned to him.
Rubber boots protect him thigh-high
When he wears his wading garb:
You can see his line go sky-high
With the lure upon the barb

Is a noisier place by far e
When compared to all the stiffness

And his cautious words and motions

Jones has all that costly tackle
Special coat and boots and hat:
Never slave had bond and shackle

Still, I'm sorry this fish story
Can't be ended as you'd wish.
Jones, despite his costume-glory,
Catches fish!
