[Tony Livingston]

You're a fine one, Mr. Gill

You realllllyyy arrrrre the best.

It's a fact that Bass get better press, but still I find them such a pest, Mr Giiiilllll.....

I'll continue to pursue you with both.....passion and zessssst.

 

 

You indulge me, Mr. Gill

with your spirited, frennnnnzied fight.

I like the way you strip off line, when my drag is set just right, Mr. Giiiiillll......

To see my float sink neath' the surface is a.....wonderful siiiiight.

 

 

You're everlasting, Mr. Gill

adaptation issss your creed.

Macrochirus still in stylus, Coppernose and Pumpkinseed, Mr. Giiiillll......

And let me thank Green Sunfish for that.......lovely crossbreeeed.

 

 

You're iridescent, Mr. Gill

with a lustrous, glossssy sheen.

whether purple, orange, or yellow, brilliant gold or emerald green, Mr. Giiiillll.....

I've failed to do you justice, as your colors.........they number umpteeeeeen.

 

 

I'll chase you always, Mr. Gill

devoted, tooooo the last.

when my days are sparsley numbered, there'll be time for one more cast, Mr. Giiiilllll.......

and if I haven't broke the record, well.......I'm surely aghaaaaasst.

 

 

I find you delicious, Mr. Gill
