Let slip the reins, enjoy yourself
There’s fishing to be tackled
Now step back from the keyboard
To which you have been shackled
For the motley crew on FM
You were their father figure
A steady hand upon the helm
As your wallet just got bigger
Your leaving seems to coincide
With the purchase of a van
You can flog stuff from the garage
To increase your pension plan
You’ll keep the trophy cabinet
That groans with cups and prizes
Nearly all for things you organised
So there weren’t any real surprises
Friends old and new are offering
There’ll be many new adventures
Ed’s first in line to take you out
Soon as he’s Polygripped his dentures.
PJ’s trip will be something else
He’ll take you back in time
With centrepins and bamboo rods
Plus fours and horsehair line
Barney has said he’ll take you out
He’s promised you a blast
I suppose that you just have to hope
That’s not coming from his ar5e….
Wol and Cakey’s all-night session
You’re welcome to whenever
Remember when they take you out
They like to bivvy up – together
Young Spiller sends an invite
To come down and fish ‘his’ river
Best not to catch a two pounder
Or his bottom lip will quiver
Schoolboy Wintle’s Xmas gift
‘The Observerver Book of Fishes’
Has meant the poor lad’s roped you in
To write a book on every species
But one thing you can rely on
When you’re out upon the banks
Is that hundreds of FM’ers
Owe you a thousand thanks
