Mum I just cant stomach
This hunting expedition
The killing it just sickens me
Please give me your permission
To stay behind and bake with you
Some cakes or buns maybe
I would rather do this any day
Than be hunting actually!
Dad bought me some camouflage
And says I should be a fan
But I don’t want to hurt a fly
Killing is not my plan
If I am to be successful and happy
Let me be
A cameraman, please Mummy
Please. Please let me be
Those pals of his are inhuman
They are sordid and they are course
They will just shoot anything
Big or small
The force
Apparently is with them
When they are on the trail
And really I don’t want to know
Its not for the female
i am going to cut my trousers up
And give dad back the bow
The countryside is beautiful
I never want to go
Out to kill live animals
i hope you do not mind
And if you both are going
Please leave me behind
Because children are children parents have to appreciate
Many are old souls they detest the killing of animal sentients so don’t drag them out and push hunting down their sweet throats
