The Boastful Buck – Part 1
Come young readers
A trip we’ll take
To a beautiful forest
With a clear blue lake.
We’ll follow the flight
Of an old black raven
For he will lead us
To a place called Deer Haven.
If you’re looking for people
There are none here
Because we are now coming
To the land of the deer.
Here’s a clearing
With fresh water springs
And if we’re quiet
We’ll see wonderful things
We’ll soon see the deer
Pay attention if you can
For this is the home
Of Zachary’s clan.
We’ll meet big bucks
Deer fathers, you know
And swift young stags
That dart to and fro.
We’ll see deer mothers
Who we call a doe
Their young-ins are fawns
Who still need to grow.
To be continued.
Tell us what you think!
