There were four young deer in the forrest
Their names were Jack, Delores, Billy and Wendy
Jack was always leading them into trouble
Billy was carefree and oblivious to any danger
Delores and Wendy were nervous and always checking around them
They had grown up with each other and always stuck together
This was the first year they roamed far away from their parents
Lets go and raid some flower beds tonight said Jack
I’m in said Billy as Delores and Wendy rolled their eyes
The girls knew this adventure would not go smoothly
Long after dark they emerged from the forrest
Quietly walking through a neighborhood
The girls kept pausing to look and listen
Billy and Jack were laughing and joking
They came across a big house with beautiful landscaping
Oh those flowers smell so sweet said Jack as he marched up the driveway
Billy was beside him smiling in anticipation of a tasty treat
The girls hung back nibbling on the bushes farthest from the house
Billy was trampling through flower beds and munching with abandon
Jack was heading for the sweetest blooms close to the house
After a few minutes they had almost decimated the front yard
Even the girls got bold and came closer to the house
Jack was laughing and Billy just kept eating everything in sight
Don’t get to too close to the house said Delores
Jack tripped the proximity sensor and the floodlights flashed on
They all froze and looked around ears pricked up
A dog started barking and the front door was opening
Run for it shouted Wendy as the big dog sprinted towards them
They ran as fast as they could back to the forrest
Delores could hear the dog barking well behind them
They out-ran the dog but did not stop until they were deep inside the forest
Jack and Billy started laughing as the girls scolded them
You boys just did not listen and almost got us killed they screamed
Lets finish the flowers and mess with that stupid dog again said Jack
Yea that was a ton of fun laughed Billy lets go back later
Delores caught the scent of a human and cried danger danger
An arrow came raining down and tore through Billy
They all ran but Billy was mortally wounded and fell down
Delores and Wendy started to cry
Jack watched the hunters drag Billy’s limp body away
