Sat by his cave , somewhere in the zoo
a relative of your old pal – winnie the pooh
climbing his branches , carefully placed
and giving his luncheon a bit of a taste
looks out at the crowd like it’s a TV
and then he goes off – in search of honey

They called you crazy – but you were quite a character,
king of the garden and the dining room floor
ignoring the cat food – for sardines or cod
and eating fish batter – which I found rather odd
got into a fuss if little ones picked you up
but clawed for attention – worse than a pup
playing with wool balls – attending your brain
then jumping out th’window – into spring rain
You didn’t like little uns pulling your tail
but would destroy others dinners beyond the pail
dashing to your sleep spot and blanket to hide
hoping you wouldn’t be hurled outside
Sat watching telly – on the rug in the house
occasionally playing with your catnip mouse
flicking your tail, when you wanted a feed
and hiding under the sofa when you did a bad deed
Sitting halfway up a tree
Quietly observing his target
Unaware they’re being watched
In an Instant he’s jumping, and flying
Rolling about on the picnic blanket and
Ravishing the goodies laid out before him
Escaping back the way he came – and raising a smile
Loathe him ? some might, but he is a cheeky chappie.
Unusual for the runt of the litter to be top of the pile
Not used to being top of the tree
Destiny wasn’t really set out for this dog, but
Expect a surprise, for while you write him off this
Right little talented animal is
Doing his thing in front of the tv judges – and
Of course – there’s one of them who’s looking for “That special act”
Got to agree – every dog, has it’s day

Piggy is much more than humble bacon
It’s common to many – you’re not mistaken
Generous to a fault is dear old pig
Got to be said – his heart is big
Yet to avoid the fate of the butchers hook
he will be found – tending your bank book

Brilliant builder of wood based dams
Each one of your structures an individual masterpiece
As you carefully create each one from surrounding forests
Very careful in your construction, – from
End to end , each twig and branch fits to create a
Riverside home – fit for any waterside family
the frog sits up high
under shade – a forest palm
watching you, and me
hopping under leaves
the perfect shelter for frog
from the daytime sun
hard days work in the
warm summer sun, now leaping
for cool dark shadows
and up in the leaves
the frog he raises a smile
he cannot be seen
