The Togue's Remarks 



I am stubborn, I am sulky, 



But my appetite is good; 

 So Fm underweight but seldom, 



Though I'm rarely understood. 

 For my moods, they differ greatly: 



In the summer I am still; 

 While, in early days of springtime, 



My emotions make me thrill. 

 At my jumping Fm a stunner, 



And no angler can seduce, 

 Till I get right good and ready, 



When I often slip a-loose. 

 For I know a thing in rushing, 



When I wish to let off steam, 

 Fm a wonder; yes, by thunder, 



Fm a college football team. 

 Yes, I know a thing in rushing, 



Know just how to break a line; 

 And for clinging to live bait, sir, 



Who can match the knack that's mine? 

 So I often fool those "Waltons," 



As they think they have me sure, 

 When Fm simply, of a rumpus, 



Playing soft my overture.
