Composting Maryland Style

What do you do with road kill Dispose of it you say So how does one dispose of it There is always the Maryland way You see Maryland picks up road kill To keep their roadsides clear And turns it into compost Mainly made of deer Bodies are placed in wooden bins Wood chips and horse poop piled on Each week the bins are aerated For the composting of deer and fawn After three months it is ready To be spread along the roadway Helping to grow the grass and the plants Until sometime around dusk one day When the deer who are always hungry Come by the roadside to eat Along comes a passing auto And the deer and the auto there meet So there along the roadside A deer dies in the weeds Thus completing the cycle Of road kill to compost to feeds
