Ode to the Old Squirrel Hunter

I wrote this yesterday, thought it was kind of funny.
The sky is turning red, the Sun is coming up
Got my finger on the trigger, anxious as a pup
Been huntin em half a century, and still get the thrill
Never seen a squirrel, I didn’t wanna kill
When I was just a child, my daddy gave me a gun
He said “ only kill for food, never kill for fun”
I tried to do what my daddy said
So I gave Squirrels to the neighbors, after we were fed
When we were kids, hunting squirrels was a real big deal,
Now kids use a computer to get their thrill.
I can hear one barking , he is not far away
I watch where I step as I make my play
The cross hairs are resting on his little hairy head,
If I don’t screw up in a second he will be dead.
Anutter & anutter they fall from the tree
Just imagine how many I could get , if only I could see.
I never wasted my money on pills or dope
Spent a grand on my PCP rifle & a 500 dollar scope
Well it is 10 am and and have the limit in the bag
Go into the house and hear my woman nag
When I get home tomorrow, in the pressure cooker they will go,
From there to the skillet, then fry em slow
Never tire of huntin em, & guess I never will
Gotta get up early in the morning , got another squirrel to kill

Games played with the ball and others of that nature, are too violent for the body and stamp no character on the mind. Let your gun therefore be your constant companion of your walks."

Thanks. I am glad you like it. My wife said it is stupid.
Of course she isn't crazy about me butchering squirrel in the sink.

Very nice. I like to add my hiaku to the thread.
I just came up with it in 2 min..
It took a week to write.
Went to hunt some squirrel today
Got stung by a bee
It hurt so I went home empty handed
