Squirrel Shit on Tea Cosy

After early lark coos, and bin lorry roar,

I heard a little scuttling, upon the garden floor,

ninja like; descended tree; brushed right by a posy,

and went; towards; its favourite place; tattered old tea cosy,

 

acting as a parasol, for those herby friends,

nano bits; deterred the slugs; no mini-suck offence,

with the nut-king foreman; partaking in a mosey,

it sniffed at the cloth shed, a worn out grey tea cosy,

 

the birds above did circle, but knew its reputation,

for it; would climb; right up; to them; to take its medication,

thus; they flapped away; quick legs remained the nosey,

then it quickly turned around; returning to tea cosy,

 

as reward; some Bombay mix; was wolfed down so fast,

no finer start to the day; great scene; with great cast,

but then I did look down, and it wasn’t something rosy,

what was grey; turned so brown: squirrel shit on tea cosy!
