The merry faces dropped their smiles When Dave uprose and said: "Today the slaughter has been great. Fine sport but lots of dead. Our game will perish from the woods, And all true sports will lag, Unless we hunters learn to place A limit to our bag" Said Dick, we kill unevenly, Why can't we equalize Till every single dog and gun Is just of equal size? Jack shoots a thirty-two-inc gun, And puts me in fix. How can I kill so big bag With my old twenty-six?" Said Joe, Maps dog is thirty-slx, Mine measures fOrty-eight.
