ITROUT SEASON OPENS
I stood on a bridge at daybreak,
The date was the first of May,
No sunshine to cheer the morning,
The sky was a leaden grey.
A chill wind swept through the
valley,
It came from somewhere down east;
No doubt you have heard the saying,
'Tis not good for man or beast,
Why was. I out there so early,
Why leave a warm cozy bed?'
T'was speckled trout open season
That goes to a nimrod's head.
The songbirds were • strangely ab-
sent,
I didn't blame them a bit,
A bare bough down by the river
Is a cold, cold place to sit.
I had lots of bait and tackle,
Warm undies and sweaters ton;.
But that East wind, I'm not foolin',
Has a way of getting through.

Lynda of London spent the weekend
at the home of Mr, and Mrs. Earl
No casualties were reported,
One sport spent a day in bed,,
He lacked the proper 'protection,
You have our sympathy, Ned,
Next day I listened to stories,
Yarns I have heard all my life,
Don't always trust a fisherman;
Get the low-down :from his wife.
Some day the stun will be shining,
I'll bring a better report,
For a day, a day trout fishing
Is just tops in outdoor sport.
