There is a deer in the park <br />By the duck pond <br />Who eats as well as I <br />Some feed it scraps of fast food <br />He really likes the fries <br /> We talk of life as daylight <br /> Fades beneath the sky <br /> Summer keeps him company <br /> He lives a lonely life <br />When ever school is out <br />I walk to greet him there <br />We learn what love's about <br />I let him know I care <br /> Winter isn't nice for Deer <br /> It's cold, it's wet, it's cruel <br /> Blankets keep it warm at night <br /> Away from brezzy air <br />By the duck pond daily <br />Frozen in the snow <br />He misses his companions <br />He hates it when they go <br /> I gave him silver monies <br /> To buy a lunch or two <br /> People think it's funny <br /> I watch them all be rude <br />Deer was once a father <br />Now his nights are spent alone <br />He sleeps along the duck pond <br />Since workers took his home<br /><br />O.S.
