| Newberry's Official Moose Mascot - Poem by Kyotee Island Krew I was floating down the Tahquamenon One warm and summer day, When I saw a monster slurping Tea-colored water from the bay. |
 |
| He slowly raised his head, His antlers oh so wide. I knew he saw me tremble I searched out a place to hide. When he let out this awful snorting I got goosebumps to my toe, Then I thought I heard him whisper, "Hello kid, my name is Moe." |
As I sat still and watched him, I had no further fear. He was quiet, polite and gentle, But man, he was big for a deer! That is when I remembered I was in the county they call Luce, And standing proudly before me Was their magnificent Moe the Moose! |
