Anatomy Down
By a HAIR, the bullet misses
There's more than meets the EYE today
But the river's MOUTH is too wide,
My NECK of the woods far away
The weariness hard to SHOULDER
This BODY of water my bane
No where to go, with heaving CHEST
Hard to STOMACH the fear and pain
The rifle BUTT again is raised
This last LEG of my life, ends here
My KNEE jerk reaction to cry out,
At the FOOT of one who kills us deer!
