One More Species At Risk
The spiny one we loved to watch
Come crawling out at early dusk,
To wander round our lettuce patch
In search of fat juicy mollusc.
Eating such prey, made it our friend.
Alas, no more we see it here.
Did its species come to an end,
When its habitat disappear,
As they cleared hedgerows from the scene,
When new road under construction.
Our lettuce patch no longer green,
Due to loss of the spiny one.
