This poem here happened so long ago
‘Twas an old man who had loads of dough
Some robbers came by
To steal some pie
Instead, they stole a Van Gogh.

There was a deafening bang
As the gunshot rang
Across the open lands
Where the hunter stood with the gun in his hands
There was the buck as still as the night
No need to move, no need for fright
His magnificent antlers stunning as could be
Lying in the shade of a grand oak tree
Ready to harvest, the buck in its whole
All of that meat cooked on the charcoal
Ready to be eaten, the venison all cured
Ready to be eaten from that buck all matured
All of the ribs, shank, and the chuck
All of that meat from that little, lone buck
Now on your plate that meat all so lean
Now on your plate along with the greens.

history myth
Gggtyfgtyger was the cruelest caveman alive.
Gggtyfgtyger wouldn’t let any man survive.
Cavemaanen wouldn’t let Gggtyfgtyger win,
Cavemaanen thought out his plan with a mischevious grin.
He thought he could trick Gggtyfgtyger so bad, that Gggtyfgtyger would cry and go running to Chad
His plan was to capture Gggtyfgtyger in a net.
This would be his greatest achievement yet.
He set out the trap, and waited all night.
He clutched his club, in case there was a fight.
Gggtyfgtyger came by to hunt for some boar, got caught in the trap, and let out a great, loud roar.
Cavemaanen rejoiced when he saw Gggtyfgtyger caught, but there was just one thing that Cavemaanen forgot.
Gggtyfgtyger was the strongest caveman around, so he broke out of the net and smashed onto the ground.
Cavemaanen was so scared, he let out a high-pitched scream.
Gggtyfgtyger would not let Cavemaanen become supreme.
He grabbed his sword made of ancient rhino horn,
And poor Cavemaanen thought he would be torn.
But Cavemaanen stood his ground, and fought really hard,
And ended up winning because he kept up his guard.
All the Cavemen made Cavemaanen the king.
Until Jackilenous and Zachilenious came the next spring.
