Deer A deer came right up and took a shit in front of my house. I was honoured. Yet, if my own brother did the same thing, I would be angry with him. Crows Crows caw, crows caw, Bothering my ears. Does saw, does saw Not a crow in years. Muskrat Muskrat pee is on my knee I don’t think that’s what I need. When dogs sneeze at 9:03, To muskrat pee, they pay no heed. Rooster Rooster hoots A stupid squawk, Farmer shoots him In the cock. Robin Some robins stop to gobble seeds, Sunflower cops shout, “robbery!” Worms report the homicides Of those same robins all the time. Wolves Sheep keep silent When they sleep, Wolves get violent Then they eat. Muskrat (again) On my knee, A muskrat pees, While roosters bleed And three dogs sneeze. Robin (again) Over windswept shallows Stood a robin fair and proud, Sentenced to the gallows By the creatures of the ground. Deer (again) The deer was asked to pay a fine To a beaver and a porcupine For indecent waste depositing On clearly sanctioned private property.



The deer pooping is annoying with a dog, they love to roll in it.
Really enjoyed the mixture of tonality here! Funny, humane, dark, lyrical... very fresh perspective!
