It takes one for hunting; it takes one to fish;
It takes one for selling the elegant dish;
Another for boating, and several to drive;
And one for just helping your dog to survive.
Pedalling takes one, and paddling does too;
Caught necking without one, it’s jail-house for
It’s carried so far that today, on my soul,
Unless you have got one, you can’t dig a hole.
“A hobby’s what you need,” the Docs say, “Pursue it!”0
But if you’ve no license, you’d better not do it.
