The Folk Of Habitat Bay
There is a lovely town l know of called Habitat Bay
Where the residents are of the animal kind
Living together in harmony
A community supportive and aligned
Duck is the towns only doctor
A beloved doctor to all indeed
Many of the towns folk
Have ongoing medical needs
Parrot is the Doctors receptionist
She is sweet natured but talks incessantly
The patients just adore her
She chats and makes endless cups of chamomile tea
Frog is a long time patient who smokes heavily
He coughs, splutters and croaks
Gets advice, help and nicotine patches
Yet ,he’s never missed a single day without a smoke
Wolf and Goat attend the surgery
Both suffer with depression
They cry ,howl and role play
While attending their doctors session
Penguin is another regular at the surgery
Road rage and anger is what he knows
Continually honking his horn
Yelling obscenities out his car window
Turkey is a gobbling overeater
Who struggles with his weight
Forever trying fad diets
Weight loss injections is his current fate
Chicken has always been clucky
Maternal and a natural mother
Doctor takes care of her pregnancies and kids
Twenty kids in tow and soon to be others
The Local Hotel is the towns meeting place
Where the towns folk get together to socialise
There is always entertainment and a happy buzz
Regular patrons are the hotels watchful eyes
Camel, Sheep and Frog are the daily patrons
Beer in hand and propped up at the bar
Camel is grumpy , grunts ,spits on the bar floor
Sheep is the heaviest drinker by far
Bird and Zebra are besties
Both are chirpy and whistle a lot
Friends with Monkey and Magpie who love a good chat
And Kookaburra and Hyena who laugh non stop
The entertainment at the hotel is a loved local band
Who go by the name of ‘ Animals By The Bay’
They get the town folk up on the dance floor
To shimmy and boogy the night away
Woodpecker the towns carpenter is leader of the band
He is the bands incredible piano player
Woodpecker has many roles within the town
One being the Town Mayor
Whale is the bands brilliant singer, Penguin plays a mean french horn
Rabbit is the amazing drummer , Zebra…known as Stripe on guitar
Elephant blows a mighty trumpet
Each band member in their own right a superstar!
Habitat Bay is an unbelievable community
With wonderful characters galore
A town with folk from all walks of life
A perfect example where solidarity and equality soar
