Well, the season’s over
Quail paired off for mating
Tack and chaps hung in the trailers
Points tallied, Gulf fishing boats awaiting
Trialers take stock
Of the season just completed
Count the pluses-minuses
Is the glass half full or empty?
Well, the National had birds
Fresh judges, new directors
Thanks to one a blower
Thanks to someone feed to blow
And Tall Timbers got hired
To bring back wild birds on Ames
Can they do it?
Let us pray
More entries thanks to looser qualifications
But three weeks is a long, long trial
We will see, yes, we will
And only time will tell
