ODE TO AN ICHTHYOLOGIST
OR
HOW ‘BOUT THAT RIFFLE-KICKER
by
Robert Wallus
(with apologies to Mason Williams)
How ‘bout that riffle-kicker
ain’t he a Son?
A stompin and a slippin’
and a bustin’ his buns!
Searchin’ fer a madtom
or darter in disguise,
Wonder and excitement
ablazin’ in his eyes.
Kickin’ fer a rainbow,
stompin’ fer a Johnny,
that silly ichthyologist
shore looks funny!
Ways to catch a darter,
Lord, he’ll create ‘em,
stompin’ in the Smokies
fer a rufilineatum.
Early in the Spring,
he’ll get a hankerin’
to shiver in the Pigeon
fer chlorobranchium
He makes it to the Buffalo
in middle Tennessee.
He'll catch himself a blenny darter’,
it'll set him free!
albater and flavater
euzonum and juliae,
the Buffalo in Arkansas
drives him plum squirelly!
South to the Caddo,
madtoms galore!
He found himself a new one,
named it after Taylor.
How to be a riffle-kicker?
He knows how to lick it!
Just find himself a rocky stream
roar off and kick it!
With thanks to Dr. Neil H. Douglas,
my favorite riffle-kicker.
