Awesome job with the daily quarantine podcasts Ben and Phil.
Ode to Phil (rhyming poem form competition)
The ode to Phil
There once was a man named Phil
Who loved the star wars sequels
The sight of a lightsaber
Was quite the life saver
In the life of the man named Phil
Soon old Phil will walk the hill country
To find that roosting gobblers tree
So when he aims fire
The situations is not as dire
As the fate that wheatstash met thee
The point is that Phil
The engineer of hammer and drill
Will always be remembered
For the laughs that are stirred
When he plays Yani’s voice at will

Good yarns and hunting stories
Benny can spin a yarn and about hunting near and far. He has even done it from a car. Bucks, birds, bears and even hares. While I listen from across the globe about adventures he strode. He often talks about my home maybe because he is as big as a nome. Hobbiton is where I live and New Zealand I am happy to give. Tahr chamios, Red and Sika, all make for a good meat eater. With advice from hunting collective, you will forever be effective. #waldoandersen #vortexbinos
