My Garden Menagerie

My Garden has a lot of visitors

Who seem to move in and make it their home

At night the garden comes alive

As they all wake up and begin to roam

My garden seems to be their sanctuary

A Hedgehog moved in not so long ago

A lovely creature like rotund ball was he

But soon he had a mate in tow

Now suddenly the one has now become five

A triplet of Hoglet’s seem to have arrived

It’s cute to see them out together at night

And to see that thy have all survived

I have a hidden trail camera that captures them on film

So I feed them every night

And soon they all arrive to feed

It’s such an amazing magical sight

I also have a Fox who calls in every evening

And I have captured him on film each time he visits

I put some food out for him to eat

Which he eats in a very few minutes

He has a shiny Orange and Red coat

White belly and black ear tips

Though he does not stay to long

He does make a few regular trips

One Day whilst the Hedge hogs were feeding

From the bowl of food I had put out that day

Suddenly a Rat turned up to help himself

I thought the Hedgehog would make him go away

But there they were one either side

Eating away oblivious to one another it would appear to me

I will never understand how this could take place

It just goes to show how strange Garden Creatures can be

There’s a little Robin who hops about at night

And an old Thrush who makes an appearance too

They seem to parade in front of the camera

Showing off that’s what they seem to do

When I retrieve my Camera every morning

It’s great to see all this garden activity

I feel privileged that all these lovely creatures

Should come and visit me.
