The Ups and Downs of Nature

by Tasha Bartlett Giles aged 9

A silky badger scuttles around looking for leaves near the ground
bit by bit he builds his den and then eyes a rabbit in their pen

You will see a magical wonder
if you have the brain to ponder

A shaggy dog comes trotting passed hoping for some food
a shifty fox stealthy in a fight can be seen scavenging for a tasty bite

You will see a magical wonder
if you have the brain to ponder.

In the dead of night a hooting owl is taking flight
inside through the day and out at night this mighty bird catches its prey.
