The Hunter

:

The Hunter


There was this hunter that bought a bag,
And he didn't want to share it with this old hag.
So he took his bowl and he took his bag,
And he went out hunting with his .44 Mag.

He went to the station to get his gas
In his boat he would go really fast.
Then he went to get his buddy
And they smoked some rye grass.
They weren't so dumb to sniff white gas.

They went into a big meadow
Where they faded into a shadow.
Then they sat down in the mud
And smoked a big birch bud.

Later they set a snare
With a great deal of care
And they sparked up their lighter
To start a small fire.

They finally caught a moose
And wouldn't turn it loose,
And when it started to freak out
They began to pout.
