eed you not be a Ph.D.,
In order to tie brilliant CDC's,
Nor be in possession of one of those fancy framed MD's,
To gently and successfully wrap excellent PVCs.
Just grab a simple D.H.T.,
Perhaps one sculptured by Renzetti,
A pattern book printed by F.A.P.,
And commence to spin those V.G.B.'s,
Perhaps some favorite USD's.
You need not have BS in CE,
To fill your box with a dozen HI C's,
Time and patience shall produce that RS2,
Not having a DSC, DMD, or DSC in front of you,
Or for tying various sized Orange Ke-He's,
Ah, and just by chance, a plethora of GRHE's.
It matters not you that you have a DDS,
For you can travel as far with a cheap old vest,
After tying a few hundred tiny B-W.O.'s,
A better fly-fisher you'll be after casting those,
Even if you have never been a member of the AFL-CIO.
