I’d like to impart to you something that I’ve learnt
if it’s a hot, sunny day your plants can get burnt
so leave the door open or perhaps a window instead
but make sure that you close it before you go to bed
for it sometimes gets very cold, especially through the night
and to find your precious plants all dead is not a pretty sight

The eyes of the world
watch those who choose to be free
often filled with tears

Now when you open wide these doors
and gaze upon the view before
to left and right are twists and turns
but at the end there’s no return
so think wisely with each step you take
each pillar marks a choice to take

If I might take a little of your time
I will introduce you to some friends of mine
they may seem a little creepy to anyone new
but we all get funny after a year or two
sorry I forgot to tell you the price of a bed
they come free but to get in you have to be dead
and I’m afraid you can’t get a single room
it is always quite cosy in the catacomb.

On the plains of Serengeti
amazing stories may be found
where tales of life and death abound
most of which are seldom pretty
but for sure they’re always sweaty
as in the midday heat we find
predators and their prey entwined
but nothing doth instil fear more
than the sound of the lion’s roar
as it approaches from behind

It’s Saturday and it’s time to see
what challenge Sammi Cox has for me,
I might purport to be the best
to try my hand at his test
then it’s published, so sit and wait
to see if any likes I make
then I think well it’s not
how many likes I got,
followers I hope to gain
so next week I try again.

Now who would carve a ball of wool
up on the top of a wooden stool
so while I’m up here what the heck
I think I’m gonna have a peck
but ouch, that hurts and now I see
the ball is made of wood like me
so instead of finding a nice soft bed
I just get a sore bill and aching head

It’s a sad and lonely life I lead
drifting slowly across the lake
till with a splash into the reeds
I dive and choose which meal to take
a fish, a frog sometimes an eel
are caught and then devoured by me
but come Springtime such a meal
will be shared with my family
of hen and chicks if we’re so blessed
waiting patiently on the nest.

Bring your bell and pan
that rough justice may be given
to the unfaithful
