The official poem from the pen of Mr. Hazen, entitled “Get That Cro*,” is herewith presented to the public for the first time, and should be memor ized by every crow hunter: “GET THAT CROW” On March fifteenth, with the rise of sun, * , Grab that trusty old pump-gun, And join the mighty rush for fun: Get That Crow. Take shells enough, to last you thru A full day's hunt and maybe two. Then sight right straight, I caution you: Get That Crow. This mighty nuisance of the air We'll banish from old Holt, so fair Before he learns to pull our hair: Get That Crow. They scatter germs of vile disease, They carry millions of mites and fleas, They kill our chickens, eat our peas: Get That Crow. The critters with their Caw, Caw, Caw, Are no respecters of our law. Don't let them give you the Haw> Haw, Haw: Get That Crow. Trap them, Shoot them, Kill them with rocks Pile them in ricks. Put them in shocks. Pay them back in real hard knocks: Get That Crow. Get them in day-time, Get them at night, Get them by noon or lantern light, When ever you see one, shoot on sight: Get That Crow. Talless, or wingless, or white with time: *j>%uuvger birds whose feathers shine: Just aim his way and mutter, mine: Get That Crow. On prairie, hill or light tree top; At roost on ledge, or sleeping cop; Resolve at once to make him drop: Get That Crow. Don’t stop for feed, or breathing spell, Don’t try to shoot without a shell, But go prepared to give them—Well Get That Crow. F. O. Hazen.
