1954 HUNTING
No more rabbits at all...
And less hares.
On the 1954 hunting board...
But some console themselves with the Martians!
Like this Mr. Faisan [=Pheasant]! A name that puts water to the mouth of hunters.
The other day, he thought he saw a Martian, after returning from the hunt. And fired... It was only a modest earthman, repairing his car in the light of its headlights...
Luckily still he wasn’t really a Martian....
Enough to create a diplomatic incident with Mars.
And start the war of the worlds.
