Time Tur Fish



Git yewr rod an’ reel turgether,
     Git yewr angle worms fur bait;
Git yewr lines an’ snells untangled,
     Don’t yew halt nur hessertate.
Git yewr hooks all filed an’ p’inted,
Sharper than a bullhead’s fin;
Git yewr hip boots strapper eroun’ yew,
     ‘Cuz it’s time tur fish ergain.

Git yewr creel all packed with liquid,
     For the snaked thet allus bite;
Git yewr “yarns” made up aforetime
     So yew’re boun’ tur tell ‘em right.
Git yewr byin’ place selected,
     Take a good supply uv tin;
Let yewr bizniz go tur blazes,
     ‘Cuz it’s time tur fish ergain.
