lyrics

Father Moose was a painter enchanter.
He held brushes and wands in each of his antlers.
When tired, he tried to look skyward.
Yet admired by herd for looking landward.
His candor and word could find the ant in the amber.

He said:
“Smallness is a partner to grandeur.
Fear is an anchor for anger.
Sadness is standard for pampered.

To control your temper
when it exists as an ember
is better than being remembered.”

He named his boomerang ‘Slander.’

He said:
“Make envy your only enemy.
Make time for banter.
Wisdom can turn your eyes to a lantern.
No law is an answer. Merely hints.
Wise calf learns from another's experience.”
