Piano Kid

Once upon a very long time ago,
A kid played piano,

He played a song known as “Lady’s Blues”,
Enraptured people were,
Taken out of their snooze,

They begin to say,
“Hey hey, hey hey,
Who would’ve known the kid can play”,

The kid began to improvise,
The piano calmly synthesized,
The kid seemed to grow in size,

And that is how the kid played well,

Hunting: Part of our Legacy

I believe that hunting is an important part of our society. It has been a popular action throughout all of our history, originally for our survival, and then just for fun in our later years. I believe that if we were to lose hunting we would lose part of our heritage and history.

The Chainsaw Man
