SONG CHALLENGE WINNER!

The Challenge:  To write a song about -- The Norwegian Moose And His Road Rage -- DATELINE:  OSLO, Norway -- Raymond Johansen isn't sure what to say on his insurance claim after a moose walked across his car and kicked in its windshield this weekend. Johansen and his girlfriend, Kristen, were driving home when they stopped for a moose on the highway. They thought they'd avoided a potentially deadly collision with the moose, which weighted about 400 kilograms (880 pounds); but, no such luck. Johansen recalled shouting "this can't be" when the moose walked across the car's hood and one of its feet came crashing through the windshield. Neither the couple nor the moose was injured. He said the moose may have been enraged by the bright lights of the car.

Osmium's Comments:  NB "rent-a-wreck" are car hire firm who rent very cheaply old cars that have to be treated with caution based just outside Oslo.

Raymond and Kirsten went down the lonely road
Along the fjords of Norway to lift the overload
To reduce from all the stresses
And escape the modern messes
That life in Oslo City can fill with woe.

But all was set fair, for this perfect pair
As the "rent-a-wreck" sped on its way
Along narrow lanes
Through cavernous caves
And down steep sided rocky escarpments.

Then Kirsten said There!; Raymond said Where?
And then wished that he hadn't asked
For a Moose with an arse
The size of a mountain of brass
landed right on the bonnet; fair n' square

Well shaken by this, and a little bit pissed
This loving couple did return
And "Rent-a-Wreck" said
Well thanks for the Moose, it'll make a great roast
And its worth a lot more than the car
