Two Chilcotin folks fishin'
Fer salmon got caught
Without a licence
And went off to court
The lawyers lined up
Both for and agin
And argued the case of
Such a heinous sin.

The judge was shocked
At the money they'd spent
And said "Lads, I know
Your profession is bent
But taxpayers can't be
Expected to pay
So this case is over
Today's the last day.

You brought me these fishers
You showed me this 'crime'
With exhibit 'A'
On my bench all the time.
Those two may be finks
But your evidence stinks
So I'm sending them off
With a paltry fine.
