Two Deer Day

Two Deer Day

by Bud Lemire on Aug 8, 2003

It was a Two Deer Day

When a buck and doe passed this way

Out the front window I did see

Two deer trotting, across the road from me

They moved along carefree, and at a trot

Maybe never even considering, getting caught

Neighborhood cats gazed at them, with their cat eyes

Wondering how these animals, got to be their size

They were probably looking, for a place to eat

Something to fill their bellies, and make them feel complete

It was early in the morning, so people seen was rare

They didn't see me, as I took in the glare

I've seen deers in the distance, but nothing of this kind

Of the buck and doe, searching for food they could find

I know for sure of one thing, I would like to share

I'd rather have a Two Deer Day, than run into a bear

This happened one morning while I lived in Montesano, Washington
