Count me in on one, cause The Gunyon likes to run.
I'll hunt some snark. In the morning, evening, and even after dark!
 
My guys lost today...I fear they have lost the season even though they are 9 and 1 overall with two games to go. The powers that be will not be kind to them.
 
In the Who Else Uses a Scythe thread, in post 1078, I took the Snark Hunt in vain. http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php/884115-Who-else-uses-a-scythe/page54

The Hunting of the Snath

“Just the place for a Snath!” the Blademan cried,
As he landed his crew with care;
Supporting each man on the top of the tide
By a finger entwined in his hair.

“Just the place for a Snath! I have said it twice;
That alone should encourage the crew.
Just the place for a Snath! I have said it thrice;
What I tell you three times is true.”

The Blademan himself they all praised to the skies—
Such a carriage, such ease and such grace!
Such solemnity, too! One could see he was wise,
The moment one looked in his face!

He had forty-two blades, all carefully packed,
With his name printed clearly on each:
But since he omitted a whetstone in fact
They were dull as the rocks on the beach.

The Boots and the Broker were sharpening a blade—
Each working the grindstone in turn;
But the Beaver went on making lace, and displayed
No interest in the concern:

“Some Snaths are Hebrew—some Snaths are Dutch—
Some Snaths are German or Greek;
Some Snaths are English but there are nonesuch
As American Snaths that we seek.”

“We seek them with thimbles, we seek them with care;
We pursue them with forks and hope;
We threaten their lives with a railway share;
We charm them with smiles and soap!

“For the Snath’s a peculiar creature, that won’t
Be caught in a commonplace way.
Do all that you know, and try all that you don’t:
Not a chance must be wasted to-day!
 
Raymond thats awesome bud. Im surprised someone else has actually read the poem. I like how you re-did it :D

BUT.... The Beckerized version would start something like this.....

Just the place for a snark the beckerhead cried,
As he laid down his machax with utmost pride,
The snark is now dead, was it ever alive?
The blood on my steel leaves me to decide.
