IOFF International Order of Flytying Fanatics Jimmy D Moore, No Moore Except in our Hearts ForeverMoore
Not as good as Jimmy D. What can I say. I wrote this poem about the time the VFB bunch came up with the International Order of Fly Tying Fanatics. Hope you enjoy it. 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.* j *avalina 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.
