Used to introduce Jim and his partner at Otley Black Sheep Festival

Wriggling Like A Fish

 

I am proud to say

I’m a Bolitaneer

Are there any other

Bright and Breezly boys here

Who have lived in this sunny

Yorkshire Spa Town

Since they were a Tiddler

Yes of course

There’s the Brid fiddler

Jim Lad

And aren’t we glad.

He’s the chap who keeps his

Blues Banjo close to his chest

Renowned for his playing

Whilst aboard a fishing skip

And we are impressed

With his knack of dodging the real graft

Fiddling through the trip

But heck - He knows his craft

Anybody who covers songs by the Boss

Can’t by half daft

But how about all that about

Reeling back the loo roll - tum ti tum

I think of him every time.......

Well never mind

That’s enough

I can see you are wriggling like a fish

Don’t bother clapping this poem

Or saying well done

Ere we’ve netted your wish

It’s - Jim Eldon
