The Farmyard alarm 🐓

Sat precariously perched amidst an old farmyard barn upon a lean-to ledge on a drystone wall

Alas he was far too busy crowing when a sly old red Fox sneaked behind him with a cautious, creeping crawl

But just in the nick of time before the Fox was about to pounce, a big black brahman Bull let out a booming, bellowing bawl..

Now it was just the very same scenario but on a different day

When three minute Moorhen chicks were hopping about happily lost in play

Running around amok betwixt Farmers Tait’s newly stacked fresh bales of hay

As solitary sombre Jack of a Donkey let out an enormous echoing “NEIGH!!!” “NEIGH!!!”..

You see little did those mischievous, merry Moorhen chicks know or actually get to see

A big boar Otter was just about to grab them in his claws, as that Ass in his acute awareness saved their bacon luckily

And this is the reason why there are so many different varieties of animals,  living together around and about on a countryside farm
