An Elegy: I Don'T Know Poem by delilah contrapunctal.... yes, that's how I intended to spell it.........

who's took the hindmost...
don't know why there's a mallard on the fencepost...
it'd be a lie if I said I didn't care...
but why the **** did you shoot that bear?

wasn't as though he was stealin' your honey...
or lookin' at you with his eyes crossed funny...
or wearin' the shirt that you'd ironed for Sunday...
or sleepin' in your bed......but now the fella's dead...

I don't know where the hawk flies home...
don't know when my maker's gonna call me...
it'd be a lie if I said I didn't care...
but why the **** did you shoot that bear?
