Spring Watch

SPRING WATCH I have just spent the last two hours, looking up a duck bum Wasn’t until the duck sprung a dozen kids did it get any fun The Owl the same asleep on the job because it was the day Action - I would have had to stayed up all night making hay The wrens were a lot more chirpier, whilst waiting to be fed While taking it in turns, to sit on their little sis or bro’s head The Gold crests are bigger it’s amazing they don’t all fall out All mouths open - feed me - feed me - feed me - their shout And the babbling brook, was looking all very nice and serene The mass fledging’s flight across it makes for a quite a scene The March **** have got it posh, a hollow tree for their nest There was so much else to see but I never got to see the rest Badgers and foxes, vermin to others I hear, now loved by me We learn a lot from nature, if we watch while letting them be Here’s to the bloody cameras that give us Spring Watch 24/7 More so too, to the nature lovers, who are now in 7th heaven Not too sure on the night shifter who comes home to the sun Flicking on the TV; to a few hours, of looking up a ducks bum Indiana Shaw . . . ; )
