My Bantams

Here they come squeaking away
Waiting for their feed today 
Feathered an busy 
Scurrying in a tizzy 
Fighting for a crumb
People think they’re dumb 
But they know when to come in from danger 
When the night forms 
They’re tucked into their manger 
They’re tame and sweet 
If you don’t hold them by their feet 
They have many functions 
They not like pigeons 
They take care of bugs 
And lay you eggs 
And free your garden from slugs 
They are pretty little 
Garden ornaments 
And pick the ground for 
A table of elements 
Here they come squeaking away 
Ready for there hay
