They won't eat you!

:

They won't eat you!

Some moose are strong and tall,
Some are weak and foolish,
Others can be really small,
And some can even be ghoulish.

They come in brownish-black
Their ears are long and thin,
Their legs are thick and strong,
No wonder they have such a big back.

They live among the trees,
And in marshy areas too,
They eat willows and birch,
For those they have to search.

You'll never know
When you bump into a moose.
But don't be afraid,
They won't eat you!
