This is one of my more popular poems. It can also
be used as a quote. If you'd like me to post more
of my fly fishing poems, let me know. All are 10
guaranteed to make you laugh.
Have a Goodun.

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!
