The Bard: Why they invented fences and rifles

A buck looks over the fence at a half acre of Dalton Gardens land Friday, May 28, 2010, where a community-supported agriculture project is taking shape. The abundance of deer is one of the hazards of gardening in North Idaho. The garden will return fresh produce to subscribers through the summer months. (Jesse Tinsley/SR file photo)

The tulips grew
in one bright bunch;
some deer strolled by
and had their lunch.
