Edgar Guest - Out Fishin`Edgar Guest - Out Fishin`
Work rating: Low


A feller isn`t thinkin` mean,    Out fishin`; His thoughts are mostly good an` clean,    Out fishin`. He doesn`t knock his fellow men., Or harbor any grudges then; A feller`s at his finest when    Out fishin`.     The rich are comrades to the poor,     Out fishin`; All brothers of a common lure,    Out fishin`. The urchin with the pin an` string Can chum with millionaire an` king; Vain pride is a forgotten thing,    Out fishin`. A feller gits a chance to dream,     Out fishin`;     He learns the beauties of a stream,     Out fishin`; An` he can wash his soul in air That isn`t foul with selfish care, An` relish plain and simple fare,    Out fishin`. A feller has no time fer hate,     Out fishin`; He isn`t eager to be great,    Out fishin`. He isn`t thinkin` thoughts of pelf, Or goods stacked high upon a shelf, But he is always just himself,    Out fishin`.     A feller`s glad to be a friend,    Out fishin` A helpin` hand he`ll always lend,    Out fishin`. The brotherhood of rod an` line An` sky and stream is always fine; Men come real close to God`s design,    Out fishin`.     A feller isn`t plotting schemes,     Out fishin`; He`s only busy with his dreams,    Out fishin`. His livery is a coat of tan, His creed -to do the best he can; A feller`s always mostly man,    Out fishin`.
