Inspiring a Revival<br />
How the Decoy Guild began….<br />
A group of carvers got together<br />
To try to create a wooden feather;<br />
With a knife and a hatchet, to see if they<br />
could<br />
Make a real bird out of a piece of wood.<br />
A real bird they couldn’t make,<br />
But an old decoy they did create.<br />
And when them old carvers are gone on their<br />
way,<br />
That old decoy will be there to stay.<br />
And if later, someone looking at that old<br />
piece of wood,<br />
Would say, I know who carved that, he was<br />
pretty — good!<br />
Then it would all be worth those lonely days<br />
Knowing, although we’ve gone, part of us<br />
stays.<br />
