that’s the badger (  s o m e  v e r s e  )

…

as toads they crawl

as deer they stagger

& vipers stir

slithers the adder


as jacobs climb

up their stepladders

& crimz strut with

a certain swagger


as flies they hide

from the flycatcher

& fools blather

jibber then jabber


as raptors soar

& squirrels gather

i spot a brock

aye - that's the badger

...
