The air was quite clear

in the forest so dear

as Mother and I walked down the street

and came across a lump of living meat.

Its large eyes glared

and I imagined its teeth to be bared.

The beast lowered its head

"Oh my, I'm dead!"

He advanced really slow

and the wind began to blow,

then a scream split the air,

the creature left his private lair

"He is gone,"

Mom said as we crossed the natural lawn.

I said, "That moose was mad,"

because he left I was glad.
