We killed the cougars and the wolves
    But not the little dears on hooves
    So when the carnivores were pruned
    The quantities of deer ballooned

    Deer eat the shrubs and the tomatoes
    squashes, peppers and potatoes
    Ravage flowers even faster
    They are such a big disaster

    Yes, we tell kids they are cute
    and much too cuddly to shoot
    But we should quit this namby-pamby
    and take an elephant gun to Bambi
