Half a Calf

:
Half a Calf !

 

Some moose are large
And some moose are small.
They hunt them in the winter
And they hunt them in the fall.

They hunt moose in September,
And sometimes in December,
But never in November
because you won't quite remember
how the meat tastes when it's tender.

The moose I saw was really big,
not as skinny as a little twig.
I saw a cow two years ago
But it looked so small in the snow.

Once I was kneeling down on my knees
when I saw half a calf in the trees.
A strand of grass made me sneeze
And the calf took off like a breeze.
