Rabbit Box

while I was still in elementary school

I discovered Daddy's tools

and amassed a small pile, of scrap lumber

and I built a rabbit box

and i set it facing north

but i caught a possum and a kitten

both of which were a bitch to set free

cause I thought they were going to bite me

but we all three escaped safely

well once I took my single shotgun

and put on my camouflage

and hid in the neighbour's pasture by the little cow pond

and finally after a long time

a bunch of doves flew by

and landed in a huddle on the power line

and so I aimed with an eagle's eye and fired

but it was two pigeons that fell like bean bags into the weeds

well they sure looked like doves to me
