Under the log pile, within the sticks
a very odd looking creature sits
long of neck and short of limb
he hopes that none will notice him
for if he can catch an insect to eat
then he is sure of a tasty treat
but if he is spotted in his lair
be sure no creature will pass by there

no sound appeared there to be heard
no melodic calling of the bird
bushes tremble although no breeze
air cold though sunshine all around
fleabane, hemlock cover the ground
a place where sprites may take their ease.
