Charles Messina Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

This is actually a true story that I had experienced one day while hunting by myself. I was probably around the age of 17-19 years old at the time and it was the first time I had gone by myself. It was scary enough to me walking deep into the woods when it was pitch black 4:00am in the morning. But seeing a bear, a rattle snake and being chased up a tree by a domesticated cow that got loose from a farm really scared the hell out of me..lol

Holy Cow

I went out hunting with my bow 
One day in late September 
It's hard to recall all my trips 
But this one I remember 

Sitting on the ground 
With my back against a tree 
I sat myself near a path 
Where I thought a deer might be 

It was early in the morning 
When I thought I'd seen a deer 
When it started getting close to me 
I saw it was a bear...Yikes! 

He came as close as ten feet from me 
And he looked me in the eye 
I swear, I almost peed myself 
As he was walking by
 
He knew that I was watching him 
He knew that I was there
But he just kept on walking by
I guess he just didn't care
 
Then, early in the afternoon 
I left to take a break 
But I had to wait a few more minutes
Because I came upon a snake
 
The snake had rattled once or twice 
And then he hissed at me 
I stayed there frozen in my tracks
Just as quiet as can be
 
I saw a bunch of deer that day 
But, I never drew my bow 
I then saw something unusual 
When It was time to go
 
Coming out from behind a bush 
And running after me 
Was a cow that was not nice
As he chased me up a tree
 
I waited for the sun to settle 
Then I ran back to my car 
After all that, I needed a drink 
So, I stopped at the first bar

Lindsay Laurie July 6, 2018 at 1:52 AM G'day Charlie … an interesting experience for you, and I have heard that cattle can be as dangerous as any wild animal. In Australia, horses kill more people than any other animal - enjoyed - Lindsay Charles Messina July 6, 2018 at 4:17 AM G'day Lindsay...I would have never guessed that. I knew cattle were dangerous but I had no idea horses were as well. Thanks mate for the info and your visit - Charlie
