TROUT POACHING.
[COSTRrBCTKD.]
Come on, my lads, tha night ia fine, The mcoa »3 shining bright; Get out your nets, the lime ana spears, We'll have some trout to night. The lancer's at Waitaki orth, On a wild-goo?e cha"*, I h;ar; So np the riv-r wc shall go. There's nothing now to fear. That " keen observing " chip who wrote To the Times the othor day, Well knew that he was biding folks In Oamim astray.
So ha sha'l have our warmest thanks Ai soon as wa get through ; And if wo land a hundredweight Well give him one or two. We'll take the river from S 'a dam XTnto Medora pool. And if wo find thai " Angler " chap We'll diown him there—the fool.
So, no the river tfde they crept, And into Elder's hole They dtopp=Ki their net, at half-past two, And landed quite a shoal. Then, home Ihey hurriei with their bagt, And to their beds did crawl, But scarce a wink of sleep they gD' Throogh thinking of their haal. On Sabbath morning there arose The smell of trout in *t^w, While fish were sent to friends hard by And to " Keen Observer " too. Oamaru, 24th Nov., ISS3
