Hunting ends

it all depends

on what you shot

to know how you feel, hot

or cold, excited or bold

maybe it's a feeling of gold

rich and colorful, sparkly

shiny, and hardly

the hunter with the mostest

time to test

what happens next

do I send a text

He got a buck and a doe

with another license in tow.

He says I don't think I want to know

another killing experience

as there is evidence

that there is freezer space for two

not three, that Grand is so to

very considerate

or is it

he

can see

moderation is better

better for all, and a letter

to Mom saying he put his

tobacco out, he shared this hunt with his old Grands.

Good kid, he cooked breakfast

for his Grandpa that broke his fast

at 11:00 a.m. and Grandpa

complimented him and that Pa

also gave him a tip

to zip

his lip

while cooking

as how ever can he be looking

to do his best

when he is making a test

run at flap jacks and eggs

and flapping his lips!

Did I say this Grand can stand on his own two leggs

he told his grandpa, "old man, no more lip or tips!!"

I know it is not my sport

And I can get short

when they act up

but I try and shutup

and let them be

as the saying goes boys will be boys and he

is not grown up yet at almost 73
