Little
Seedling
Crushed flat by a paw
The finest fertilizer
Still won't make you grow

Author Notes
I woke up this morning, and discovered deer had raided my garden, ate all the heads off my sunflowers and broccoli, and a raccoon, by the paw print, crushed one of my two remaining basil seedlings. LOL! I give up. I'll just write and buy my vegetables instead.

Thank you to willie for letting Fanstory writers use "Rascal" with their writing.

As Robert Burns' said in his famous poem "To a Mouse," "The best laid schemes o' Mice an' Men/Gang aft agley."
