Twas the night before sale, the fur’s lookin’ well,
The stretched furs were bundled all ready to sell.
And me in my whiskers, and Mom with her plews,
Had just settled in, to catch up on news.

We turned on the gen-set, to give us some power
And turned up the computer, T-man for an hour.
We learned about dirt-holes, as Mom darned my socks,
And how to set snares, to catch every fox.

Christmas was on us, and meme’s a big deal,
We laughed at the humor, some got a squeal.
Trump got elected, quite a campaign he did mount,
The Democrats cried, and wanted a re-count.

Wolves were taking over Wisconsin by storm,
And trappers were wanting to return to the norm.
Prices still down on beaver and mink
And prices on everything, really did stink.

Ah, here’s one now, she ought to go pro,
For Vinke’s started a contest, for Granny’s big toe.
We caught up with bitcoin, (Is it something to eat?)
It costs forty dollars (It must be a treat).

The ads are sure selling traps and snares you can see
Just make out an order, call up Tim at MTP.

Outside the window, its started to snow,
But T-man has told us, what we needed to know.
For tomorrow’s the day to drive to the sale
And get screwed by the buyer, (the check’s in the mail).

Jack

I loved it! When I first saw the post I assumed it was a repeat from years past. Who knew you had that much creativity bottled up in you!


My fear of moving stairs is escalating!

I've gotten to the point that I can barely type on the computer. but if I sit and concentrate all day, I can still peck it out. I'll keep trying.
