I know you all have probably heard this joke.. but I thought I'd throw it into poetry fashion just the same.

Larry C. had been out huntin'
chasin rabbits with his gun.
Scarin all the forest folks
and havin lots of fun.

It didn't seem to matter
that the holidays were near.
Or that he was killin' all the
little bunny's Christmas cheer.

This is the time of season
when the forest folks join force.
They do nice things for thier neighbors,
when they ain't eatin' em of course.

Cause this time of year the weather
makes the meals come far between.
And a feast is what ya make it,
is what they were thinkin' it would seem.

The bunny told the possom,
and the possom told the skunk.
And the skunk then told the racoon
who was hidin' in a tree trunk.

Well someone told the grizzly
though I'm not sure who it was.
But soon the woods did echo
and the forest was a buzz.

Now' Larry C. was still a shootin'
takin' pot shots at the trees.
When the forest grew real quiet,
you didn't even hear the breeze.

Out from 'tween the bushes
came the Grizzly mad and mean.
And that Larry C. went running,
splashin' through the frozen stream.

He was prayin to the heavens,
Lord please make the grizzly stop.
And he made one final plead
as to his knees he dropped.

He put his little hands together
and he sent up this earnest prayer.
God if you are listening
please make this a Christian bear.

Larry couldn't bear to look now,
not even did he peek.
The forest had gone quiet,
Then you heard the Grizzly speak.

Lord, thank you for this food we are about to receive....

I have definitely never heard this tale told before, and now that I just did, I have a big smile on my face, and a laugh just emitted. Wonderfully funny piece.

Cute Lucie. Where is that Larry these days anyway?

If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please?

Larry is on his way
he told me so today
he is almost up
and running
ready to come out
and play
again
