LOWER HOWARD LAKE SPORTSMAN'S ASSOCIATION
DEER HUNTING 2009
It was the 25th year
for our shack up North,
the 26th poem I have put forth.
It gets harder and harder
to create this rhyme,
my brain is getting softer
with the passing of time!
It's a tradition I do
cuz I know it's expected,
but I'm thinking that next year,
a new poet's elected!
Do we have any takers
for this annual task??
Just think of the glory
and fame you will bask!
Its out with the old and in with the new,
come on you guys, what can you do ?
Only one deer taken, but many were seen.
Groaner has become a killing machine!
He took a healthy young fork
from the Lake View tree,
it weighed two tons if you're asking me.
Thanks to the Forest Service,
draggin deer's no longer free,
cuz those dirty rotten bastards
outlawed my ATV!!
And while were on the subject,
what happened to your stand?
They were all cut down
by the Forest Man!
After years of hunting
from a few lousy trees,
the "Man" says no longer
can we hunt from these !
So we put up some metal
and strap it to a tree,
it's not as safe or comfy,
I'm sure you agree!
Enough with my rant,
there was good things too.
I'm about to share a few with you.
We had chicken and turkey
and rib eye steak.
We had cheesy hash browns
for heavens sake.
We had Shitbird dressing
and M's chow-mein,
pizza pie, and back straps,
I shall refrain.
And we had beer and whiskey,
Crisp's, Crimes and Croke's,
thanks to Crown Royal,
those wonderful folks !
We even had a quilt made,
from those pretty purple bags,
no wonder just one deer for nine deer tags!
Spooky and Yukon were missing this time,
one was injured but soon will be fine.
The other one "Spooky",
was in the land of the sun,
missing out on hunting and all of the fun!
Hurley got lazy and skipped weekend two,
your youth is important,
this just will not do!
Christmas has passed and New Years too.
This time of the year there's nothing to do.
So we reflect on the good times
and try to forget the bad,
we thank the Lord for deer camp,
and the good times we've had.
Now I bid you all farewell,
but lets all keep in touch.
Happy New Year guys,
Thank you so much.
