Analysis of Deer Head
Deer Head
Father told me to stay safe in the wood
It seemed like something of which I could 1
And when he comes back, I’d help him hunt
An honor for such as a little runt
The others had their fantastic antlers
While my little sister wanted have hers
But she didn’t know and probably wouldn’t
Female deer actually couldn’t.
I asked my brothers”could I be like you?”
But they said”Yeah, and every flying pig too.” 2
I felt down but I knew i’ll be the greatest
The one who will pave the way for the latest.
Dad returns and then he selects
But I already knew that I was next 3
He says”Bentley, come here young buck.”
He chose me, I had such luck.
We trot and gallop like horses you see
I was like a sunflower, smiling happily 4
Deer dancing and dashing dauntlessly
But then the road came forth with me.
I didn’t know that it was dangerous
A susceptible autumn left me anxious 5
The beautiful, beautiful scenery
UNTIL THE METAL BEAR RAN AT ME!!!
I couldn’t stop staring at the what they call headlights
And then I could hear the afterlife scream”goodnight” 6
But then my dad came to stop the metal contraption
It seemed like the metal bear would fracture him
My dad looked like his end was near
But the Metal bear stopped from front to rear.
My dad in coolness stopped the car
In away to me was so bizarre 7
He used his antlers to send it to halt
And the metal bear knew he was at fault.
The one who drives it came out the thing
And tried to end our suffering 8
But then they realized we are too BUCK
So then they all ran with all their tails tucked.
I thought for sure I was in trouble
But my father said this happened double 9
He to was saved after getting stunned
I didn’t have any reason to feel shunned.
But then in an utterance, my courage found me 10
I felt horns on my head and smiled with glee.
