*The Limerick Book*

Deer

One summer night I encountered a deer,
and I was glad I hadn't had beer.
He sat on the highway,
As I drove along my way.
I hope he survived and is still here.



These people call this Limerick a favorite:

I think you meant, "still there." Because, really, the deer is not *here*, he's *there*, in the road. In fact, we don't really want him to be there either. Let's hope he (or she) is home with a nice deer family enjoying a plate of shrubbery stew. Still, the poem has a nice flow to it.

Anything with beer in it is okay by my book.

I think it is fine. It has a great little story to tell. The only thing that I find to be confusing is using the word "here" in the last line, since you went away.
