Deer Me

Deer Me!

By Elton Camp and Maria Camp

Safely in woods a deer can bound
The thickest trees easily get around

Although running right beside
With another deer never collide

Models of grace as well as speed,
With all the control they need

All that will soon disappear
If a busy highway draws near

Into traffic they will dash
Causing a devastating crash

No matter if it’s day or night
They will fail to react right

When driving always look hard
Against a deer remain on guard

The speeding car is ten feet away
“I can make it,” the deer will say
