I've heard it said of Moose and Men, as Moose we should be proud.
For, where most men have lost their heads, ours tower 'bove the crowds.
Quite often we will just observe the foolish ways of man,
who can't tell a fedora from his backside with both hands!

Appearing very awkward, Man, adopts his normal stance,
pontificating loudly ( though it's muffled by his pants).
Expounding on all subjects, quite convinced that he is right,
(A remarkable achievement when ones' head's no where in sight!)

As Moose, we calmly witness this, and share a knowing grin.
We've long known why the caged bird sings, and what fools locked them in.
Amusing ourselves greatly watching your heads dissappear,
their exact locations noted by the clues that we've left here.

Indeed....If I don't know what I'm talking about...I'll just shout

Nice write, Moose

I like the way it flows, It sounds much like a conversation to me while you maintian rhythem and rhyme. Very good write, I can use this to make my own writes better.
