How many hungry
deer do you see?
Cherries, cherries
Dark red fruits
Dangling from the
Trees in shoots
Ripen quickly
In the sun
Come and get them
Better run!
Hurry! Pick them
Stand up tall
Deer will eat them
Pits and all
Cherries, cherries
Dark red fruits
Squishy, squashy
Under boots
Backyard Cherry
Picking
