Grouse

From the 12 th of August to the
10th of December grouse shooting is underway
The beaters the hides the shooters
And the lead shot so to say
The red grouse and the foxes hen harriers
To the fore
stoats and squirrels and the Hares
All killed you were not sure
And its all to protect this field sport
The toffs love shooting game
Hotels do well out of it
Well that is what they claim

And what about shot cartridges
The lead goes everywhere
In the grouse around a bout
That is some despair
For wild souls and for people
Who like to eat the game
Its a sort of Russian Roulette
But isn’t quite the same
