It was the great leveler.
He of all people knew this quite well.
No longer a spring fawn he toiled after the newly born as their mothers trotted elsewhere.
It was the same old story.
Some popular doe got chubby, popped out a fawn, and then four weeks later she was in la la land with daddy again and the pathetic creature was running amok in the forest being a nuisance.
Leveler.
Feh.
