Those crappies won today
That's all I got to say
My luck was bad
I'm really sad
I'll fight another day

The storms just came and went
My pole was never bent
It blew from the East
Where fish bite the least
My mantle I did rent

My bones were full of chills
I knew there were some thrills
I went to a cove
My float.., well it dove
And man I caught those 'Gills

The moral of my tale
Is that you cannot fail
Don't sit and just mope
Don't give up your hope
Fill up your fishing pail

Go and try something new
Fish are waiting for you
Move your big boat
Or fish from a float
Until the sky turns blue

It was a "crappie" day
Bone chilling I must say
Thank God for the "Gills
They gave me some thrills
The crappie won today
