at morning toilet

This morning three deer, mother and two young ones, were lying in our vegetable garden. Heavy rain was falling. The deer stayed in our yard and in the forest next to our house. They nibbled grass and leaves. The mother made a bush stop under the hawthorn and willow.

Hence, to start the morning
With a satisfactory
Dump is a good omen
All our adult days.
