Beavers

The  beavers are gone

Perhaps the powers that be

Crushed their house

(It\'s just a pile of loose sticks now)

Beavers being a nuisance to manmade culverts

And civilization as we know it

They block them, the culverts, you see

In their eagerness to build

But all I know is that the beavers are gone

And the rushes blow alone in the wind.
