                                                                      The Musical Hunting Dog

There was once a man who had a Labrador named BigBelly. The dog wasn't like the other dogs, this dog had a talent. His talent was that it could sing. Then, one day Mr. Daniel Drummer, who owned BigBelly, decided that he wanted to bring BigBelly hunting with him. So they got to the hunting camp, which was 3 miles back in the woods, and began to go hunt. They got to their hunting position when they saw deer tracks. Then, they heard quacking of ducks. That's when BigBelly broke out in song

“We’re goin to get the duck,

We’re goin get that deer,

We’re goin to get their hides……..

 

“Be quiet” interrupted Mr. Daniel Drummer. “You’re going to scare the game.”

 BigBelly did as he was told. But then he started up again

“We’re goin to get the duck,

We’re goin get that deer,

We’re goin to get their hides.”

Again Mr. Drummer yelled “Be quiet!!!” 

Then, he saw the biggest deer of his life.

“BOOM” went Mr. Daniel Drummer’s rifle.

“BOOM” it went again.

He let the gun smoke clear to see nothing but an open field and a river. He missed the shot all because of BigBelly and his strange talent. At first, Mr. Daniel Drummer, filled with rage, chased BigBelly to the camp. But he ended up chasing him to their house in the end.

When BigBelly got there he was just a little faster than old Mr. Daniel Drummer was. So he locked Mr. Daniel Drummer out of the house. 

After a week, BigBelly let him in (After Mr. Daniel Drummer had taken out his rage on the door.)  Then he started to sing to him the song Under Pressure, by Queens. This made Mr. Daniel Drummer angry again!  So angry, in fact, that the whole ordeal started again.

   The Ballad of Harvey Carr

 

Verse I:

 

Born in Saskatchewan back in 17

I was a logger awful strong and lean

Made a living back in the woods

Back where the 100 footers of pine usually stood.

 

 

Chorus:

 

Born to be a liar, hey it’s all true

Did I ever tell you bout my zucchini canoe

How about ole Sparky chasing that hare

So what if I was on the wrong bear.

Born to be a liar, hey it’s all true

I’ll have you laughing till you turn blue

 

Verse II:

 

I walked to work some eight miles in.

Left the woods to jump from planes

But the trees I missed just like kin

So back to the Blue line to live within

 

 

 

Chorus:

 

Born to be a liar, hey it’s all true

Did I ever tell you bout my zucchini canoe

How about ole Sparky chasing that hare

So what if I was on the wrong bear.

Born to be a liar, hey it’s all true

I’ll have you laughing till you turn blue

 

Verse III:

 

Back to Blue with Mary my wife

My four kids became my life

Kids Mary, David Larry and John

We’d the afternoons back on the pond

 

Chorus:

 

Born to be a liar, hey it’s all true

Did I ever tell you bout my zucchini canoe

How about ole Sparky chasing that hare

So what if I was on the wrong bear.

Born to be a liar, hey it’s all true

I’ll have you laughing till you turn blue

 

Verse IV:

 

I loved living in the park.

And fishing with my old buddy spark

I enjoyed conversing with old Noah John

Ole Harvey Carr your tales shall live on.
