Ode to a Steely
by
Terry Mullaney
Here's to the Steely,
who
took my favourite lure,
I'll
get her some day, and that's for sure!
To
be on the river, in the middle of December,
It's
a wonderful feeling, as I do remember.
To
fight the noble fish, all silver and bright.
To
have her on my hook,
I
would dance with delight.
To
fight a wild Steely, it's a great thrill
To
catch and release her, so she will be there still.
Here's to the Steely, the best fish around.
There's nothing better, on the
outskirts of town.
To
have her too on a long run,
To
me, that is the best of fun.
Here's to the fish, with the
greatest worth.
Ode to a Steely, the best fish on Earth.
