Life In the Country

A bit of life I cut and paste
The country life I share
So you can have a little taste
Of what it's like out their

We've bats that hit those not on guard
With song birds that alight
The bulls they charge without a card
Oh dear, that's just not right

A buck that rams all it can see
Now it sees very much 
A ram that bucks the likes of me
Now that has him in dutch

The geese will pinch you with their bills
At least they do not charge
The barn cats eat our food til filled
But love from me they sparge

The rabbits keep on making more
Each will have eight I say
That's one reason cats are here
So rabbits run away

The farm that's in the dell some shun
But it to me is home
So take a trip and have some fun
You'll find there's space to roam.
