Giraffes, wart hogs & ostriches, oh my…

She said there no lions, tigers or bears, so I improvised with the title...



Poem Artwork

Rene is in South Africa,

There to hunt & kill some animals,

A wart hog, who would want one & why,

I hear the trip for twenty hours was a helluva fly…

 

She called me today, I really needed to hear from her,

She says its HOT & HUMID, though its there fall,

I am sure without air-conditioning will fly the fur,

If it were me, I would be pitching a really big bitch,

Guess I am spoiled living here in this NJ valley or is it ditch…

 

I didn’t go, you ask why,

Well to be honest I don’t fly,

Less I have some good drugs,

To sleep the trip all the way through,

Till I arrive back on the ground,

That is the only time out a plane window do I want to view…

I only shoot with a lens but I'd volunteer for a pork chop. Patrick

She must be rich. Flying is like everything else. Just another thing you can do and has nothing to do with fear. Many adventures missed if one cannot fly.

I used to hunt, so I understand killing wild animals for food. But for fun? Maybe would be better if the gun was focused on humans like it is on poor defenseless animals.
