I looked out my window and what did I see
but a hairy beast under the sycamore tree.
I saw his snout, and that tooth filled head,
eating a sedge from my garden bed.
I shouted, he snorted as I grabbed and pulled his hair.
Get away you beast, don’t come back, don’t you dare!
I let go my choke hold and his fur of bristles,
he ran to his boar herd through a field of thistles.
His story soon told that all boars should be wary.
Stay away from humans, they sure are scary.
