The Holly Bush

The Holly Bush The green leaves are shiny and bright The red berries catch the pale winter sunlight The blackbird sits underneath the great bush Plucking the berries off, he’s in quite a rush The robin sits on a branch close to the holly His red waist coat stands out and looks so jolly. He watches the blackbird plucking at the berries Some drop to the ground and make the robin feel merry. He knows the worms will come to investigate And when they pop up it will be too late Not only will the blackbird eat up his fill The robin will feed on the worms, but still That is the way things have to be Be glad you are at the top of the food chain with me.
