There's a hedgehog family
living neath the pampas tree
and a bluetit pair come nesting every spring.
In honeysuckle on our fence,
they set to and build a nest.
Till they say good bye and fly on tiny wing.
There's some bats flying free in our garden
Black 'red arrows' zooming round in the gloom.
Not too late or too soon
Dancing round beneath the moon
they call in through a gap in our room!
Saw a rat, it was fat, in the garden
paid a call while we were out one night.
It made a dash - gave us a fright,
we were worried it might bite
Now it's holed up with it's pals out of sight.
Licking lips, pussy sits in our garden.
Slitty eyes, feign surprise, watching all.
Still the song thrush sings away,
starlings visit every day.
On the coat of the cat droppings fall.
Lots of love living here in our garden.
No weed killer, no slug pellets are in sight.
Creepy crawlies have a ball.
It's for free, it's for all.
Sleep tight 'pets' & God bless, nighty - night.
