What a wussy generation

Johnathan came home with a chant that he learned in kindergarten. It had a catching rhythm to it and I quite enjoyed hearing him recite it. However, as I listened to him perform a second and third time, I realized the tune was a familiar one to me. Do you all recal the little rhyme or song..."Going on a Lion Hunt?"

It goes something like this:
Going on a lion hunt,
I'm going on a lion hunt,
But I'm not scared,
I'm not scared.
I've got my gun by my side
I've got my gun by my side
and my bullets too
and my bullets too.


Well, the version he learned starts something like this:
I'm going on a bear hunt,
I'm going on a bear hunt.
But, I'm not scared
No, I'm not scared.
I got my lunch by my side
I got my lunch by my side
and my camera too
and my camera too.


I guess we are not supposed to hunt Lions, tigers or bears with guns and bullets now-a-days.

My biggest concern...what are the chances of a kid surviving a bear hunt with a smelly lunch and a useless camera?

I'll stick with the song the way I learned it.
