about

week 13's theme was allegory. i tried to make a tune in the style of The Book. let's just say i gained a new appreciation for The Books this week.

lyrics

one day a man was walking in the woods
when he heard something
crying.
he walked toward the sound
and found a small deer
whose foot was caught in a metal trap.
the man knew what he had to do.

he approached the deer, muttering
"please don't kick me"
in feigned hope.
"i won't,"
the deer replied,
much to the man's surprise.

"You can understand me?"
the man said in disbelief.
"please let me out," the deer pleaded with the man.
"Right, sorry," said the man.

as he wedged the trap open, he said to the deer
"i can't believe we can communicate.
this is absolutely incredible."
he looked up to the deer
who he had just freed
but the deer was running
deeper
into the woods
