Two weeks ago, there was a deer
Slowly strolling into town
Shreveport was the perfect place
Does he think he is a clown?
Near St. Paul's Church, I sat and watched
As he walked ever so slow
To the window of that beautiful church
He must have seen something aglow.
Looking thru the stained glass window
He gave a big leap and broke thru it
Landing inside the church was a surprise
Excited and terrified: The pews he hit.
To him, this was a very strange place
While jumping from pew to pew
Then running up the balcony staircase
There's no way his antice were through.

Not an April Fool Story
Would you believe from that balcony he jumped?
To the pews below he landed
By now he was really hurt and suffering
In St. Paul's Church, he was really stranded.
Animal Control was called to help
The worker couldn't use the tranquilizer
It would only excite him to do more damage
The deer was killed by the Animal Control Worker.
The afternoon was cleaning up time
Done by Church Members that were there
Cleaning the stains from Pews and walls
Job was done, and they there was prayer.
So, I guess you could really say
To Church this deer did go
And that is where he met his God
In "deer heaven" he'll jump God's rainbows.
