Deer Are So Polite

Deer are gathered at a meeting
The first meeting of the spring
In the thawing cornfield.
Little ones are bored
They play and leap while
Adults discuss basic things.
Deer are so polite
No voices are raised
As they calmly chew the herbage
As they sniff the warming air.
Geese are flying overhead
"We're back" they call
To all below.
"We're back" because
The winter is past.
Robins are on the lawn
Picking at the turning worms.
