Would it be cheaper to post a $5000 reward for information leading to the capture of poachers and then send the mobile firing squad to take care of the problem?

Then sing it loud enough for the elephants to hear you.

You’re free as the roaring tide
Now you’re inside
A lion

Recalling Stanley Holloway’s account of the passing of little Albert.

“Mother — yon lion’s et Albert.”

If he sounds familiar...Holloway played Alfred P. Doolittle in “My Fair Lady.”

Poachers will just augment their poaching activity with grabbing up innocents and turning them in as poachers.

Poachers should face the death penalty.

Always the highbrow, artsy-schmartsy stuff with you.

Haiku Potatoes.

Alright.

Let’s see what I can remember from my Intro To Poetry Class.

I remember that blonde girl. She sat two rows over. Now there was someone to write poetry to. Alas, and she was quite a lass, she wanted someone more mature than me. And by mature, she meant “with more money”.

Haiku.

5-7-5 with a Cutting Word.

OK.

Five French fries frying
Seven baked potatoes baking
Five tater tots totting
Scissors

Where’s my prize?

I have taught firearms safety and hunting ethics to youth and adults for over three decades. I’m heavy on the ethics part. Modern hunting is not about the killing, it is about harvesting excess wildlife while following a set of well stated rules.

BUT...

Prior to buying that first hunting license you must fully understand firearms safety, and that there is no excuse for unethical hunters.

Every one of my students are mandated to memorize one statement, and that is.

Having personal ethics means doing the right thing even when no one is watching.

Like the 2 scumbags in Alaska that shot a hibernating black bear and 2 cubs in a den. In fact, the two a-holes in Alaska are worse. If I made call they would never hunt again.

California decades ago started the beginning hunter safety classes.

Great programs, our son took them and are safe and good hunters.

Our grand kids have taken and are safe and good hunters.

How about issuing permits to hunt poachers?
Now that would be interesting big game hunting....

It’s the circle of life
And it moves us all
Through despair and hope
Through faith and love

Till we find our place
On the path unwinding
In the circle
The circle of life

-Elton John, Tim Rice
