While Conifers sit proud in the local park
the local wildlife is preparing
for the day that the mercury in the thermometer
beats a hasty retreat
Squirrels Red and Squirrels Grey
scour the fallen seeds of the day
and having collecting them, storing away
it’s plenty of work – and no real play
The feathers ruffle at weather cold
so the birds follow paths many years old
heading for places where outside’s nice and warm
and icicles forming – isn’t the norm
But hark – i hear the wildlife shout
are you sure Winter’s here? There’s no snow about
as the last rays of autumn come down from the sun
they’ll run, leap and swoop for some last minute fun
