If my poem also describes you, then you're definitely weird too. Have a good evening. JIMMY D A FLY TYING FANATIC ! Cotton balls, wine corks, tow sacks, I save'em all. Craft beads, sparkle rope, doll's eyes, I'm walkin tall. Mosquito net, you bet! And it's already green, don't have to dye it. Just try it. You'll see what I mean. Sewing thread, parrot feathers, and purple yarn. I'll use most anything, and don't really give a darn. Closed cell foam and balsa wood. Anything goes. Why I've even used the lint from between my toes. Candle wax, bee's wax, ear wax, I use'em all. Soda straws, model paint bought at the Mall. Javalina hair& belly hair from an Armadillo. Why I even use eider down from my pillow. Longhorn tail hair, my hair and hair from my cats. I'll even use belly hair from a free-tailed bat. Black Visqueen sure makes good beetle backs. Cut'em out, glue'em on, hang'em on the rack. Thus is the life of a fly-tying fanatic. Could I use the fiberglass insulation from my attic? I throw away nuthin. I keep all kinds of stuff. With my kind of fly-tying, there's never enough! By JIMMY D.
