Who would've thought that a discussion of cleaning cork grips and fly vests could lead to this?

It's a Haiku (an Haiku?) whose origin is in Iowa. Hells Anglers (great name, George) stop over in Iowa for a little poetry reading and writing on their annual fishride across the States.

Looking for water
Biker fish chick behind me
Tatoo of a trout

Vroooom!

I shuffle softly
The chrome on my fly
Glints in the fading daylight

I got a chopped rod,
It's true but it's not a Lewis, Maybe someday eh?

I use only the best
Domestic Parts, made right here
I fish for freedom

Born to fish wild trout
polished chrome single foot guides
throttle my hawg stick

death before clean cork
need Nasim's Harley hankies
and trout babe sidekick

Forget the trout babe?
Forget her trout tatoo too?
No! Say it ain't so.

I guess we're heading back to the Hell's Anglers thing again, aren't we? 8^)

By that old favorite, Steppenwulff:

Get your motor runnin'
head out with your fly rod
lookin' for a cuttbow,
or whatever's in that pod

Born to fish wild...
(repeat)

Get your motor running
lightweight graphite thunder
racing with the mend
and the fly is thrown asunder

[next stanza added by BillSchudlick:]

And like a true angler's child
We were born, born to fish wild
We cast our flies so high
They're never gonna alighight...

Born to fish wild...
(repeat)
