drinking tea and talking about the big bear someone shot years How far Is if you ask in your in some maniac suggests you go over to the next lake through he woods a motor for a host thai might be there because it used to be Oh about a mile they say Well even on old duffer can walk a mile They havent lied Except to omit the fads that the mile is a mile uphill a mile downhill a mile to the east and a mile to the west Nor have they lied about the bugs Better spray on some repellent Could be a few flies Did you ever wonder why men who escape from prison and bead into the Canadian bush in
