(To the tune of “John Henry, Steel Driving Man“)
Buck Henry said to his ladies
Says “a deer ain’t nothin’ but a deer”
Before I let this statue beat me down
Lawd, I’ll die with concrete chips on my ears
Lawd, Lawd, I’ll die with concrete chips on my ears
Call it funny, call it noble, call it sad, call it Wisconsin.

The article plays up the yuks, but I feel proud for that buck: yeah, he was stupid to challenge a concrete elk; yeah, he shattered his own skull. But before he died he damn sure took that statue down. It’s inspiring! Like a testament to the spirit of… something.

It reminded me of Republicans trying to block health care reform.

In the sense of giving one’s life, in quiet dignity, in order to destroy a useless, expensive artifice?

I hope another committed deer comes to my neighborhood and takes out my next-door-neighbor’s lawn jockey statue, Jack.

I suspect that unless your neighbor douses the Yardell with eau-de-doe, the little guy is safe.
