Avoid The Poison

I chose not to mess around
with the booby-trapped car,
because I like living more,
than being dead by far.

Back on the trail making my way,
still pissed about the stolen can of food.
Things could be worse though, I'd say.
A rifle and some ammo lightens the mood.

Feeling peckish I scan for snacks,
letting the Field Guide book teach.
I avoid the Poke-berries poisoned allure,
and opt for thistle and leaves within reach.

Thanks for Reading!
