Old Musky Print

MUSKIES

Have you every caught a musky;
Do you know just what I mean --
By a Thirty Five Pound Husky,
Painted Brown, and Gold, and Green?
If you have; you're mighty lucky,
And some fisherman beside,
For them critters are as husky
As a smokey, chunky* guide,
Seem to fight for love of fighting,
Strike as gamey as a trout,
Grabs your bait and goes a kiting,
Till you've payed your line all out.
When the line begins to quiver;
"Jumps cleanout and shakes his head,"
Then your nerves begin to shiver,
But the DOUBTS you had, have fled.
For you're getting all the pleasure
That a fisherman could wish,
Thrills which words can never measure,
When you land this KING of fish,
If Sporting Blood is in you;
And that's mostly what it takes,
We have just the sport to win you;
Way up in the "Land o'Lakes"

E. F. Hayward - circa 1926
