Woodland Creatures In a Trance
Deer do frolic: How they run and laugh and play
Birds chirp sweetly, soaring on a gentle breeze
Rabbits scoot and scamper, in their puckish way
The sunlight shoots through branches of tall trees
As clouds drift off to Heaven's vast expanse
The coolness of the forest's sure to please...
Noonday heat puts woodland creatures in a trance
Lay down their weary heads to take a nap
Soon to slumber, hearts a-twitter to romance
Unaware of danger, of deception's traps
Sounds and scents of peril start to filter in
Startling to attention, they duly snap
Hunter-man has forest's bulwarks broken in
Rifles poised to target precious creature's skins
