They Must Be Stopped
First the bunnies came en masse
and chewed up all our fine green grass
the students had to watch them mount
and they multiplied till we lost count
Now, the deer are out of hand
they've overrun our fertile land
if they're not culled, and soon, we fear
there'll be no roses left 'round here
So when you say they're nice to watch
well, I could kick you in the crotch
it's getting hard to drink our tea
dodging bunny poo and bambie pee
Wait, what, you say that it's our fault?
to progress, we should call a halt?
stop building condos in the woods
and love the wildlife as we should

University of Victoria's rabbit population facing cull
Headline from Times Colonist June 15, 2013:
Oak Bay faces deer dilemma; shoo them into Saanich, some say
Well, sorry guv, that's not for us
we'd rather cause a bloody fuss
we'll cull you, if you don't agree
and celebrate with a cuppa tea
