The Deer All Stare



As I look across the way
There three or four deer stood
Feeding on the grass
As I approached them
They all looked up at me
So I said, Hello, and started talking to them
There they stood
Staring and waging their tails
And they weren't even afraid

They stood and stared as I spoke
It would be fun if we can all be friends
For I will not hurt you
So please don't run away.

Lynette Johnson
