Help the Deer

Help the Deer
By Larry Linville

A wise old deer has asked of me
when he emerged from a big tree
to help him as he tries to solve
a big problem that may evolve.

It costs the lives of his deer friends
who are hit by cars and their life ends.
He thinks we might make a great gain
with a letter writing campaign.

He thinks it’s safe to assume
deer are hit looking for a bathroom.
He thinks he may have a solution
which would cause no real pollution.

Congress needs to build a “relief station”
at intervals all across the nation
so deer would have it easy to “go”
without causing traffic to slow.

He wants you to write the senate
on your own paper please pen it.
You can do so much better
by writing a deer john letter.
