FLOWERS AND THE DEER

Have you experienced the work you

Put in your flower garden only to see,

A deer has eaten your lilies and by

The time you see them, they begin to flee!

I have tried food deterrent, all kinds of

Things to keep deer away from them,

But it didn't seem to stop the munching

On my favorite blooms... Please God, ahem!!

I thought all winter what to do during the

Coming spring and came up with a snapper,

Why I put in some poles and put up electric

Wire so when their noses touch, it's a zapper!

Now the deer can only look at the blooms

And wonder how to get to them to eat,

Before you know it, they find out that this

Zapping wire fence forces a retreat!

With a smile and I know my flowers smile too -

Because they no longer have the fear,

Being involved with the enchantment of

FLOWERS AND THE DEER
