my secret friend bows to my wishes;
he cleans my whole house and does dishes,
and some say he’s me,
but i disagree–
for i couldn’t be that ambitious.

i was having some warm butter pie
when i saw something dark flutter by,
and it gave me a fright
so i turned up the light–
it was only an orange butterfly!

the heron stalks ponds that are scummy
for the muculent prey there are yummy–
whether slimy green frogs
or the glazed polywogs,
he loves how they tickle his tummy.

when mom brought a fish to her nest,
the young ospreys felt they were blessed;
they knew right away
that for dinner today
they were having their favorite guest

There once was a bunny named Doris
Whose family plans were the poorest–
By the time she was three,
Her family tree
Was starting to look like a forest.

with epaulets of scarlet and gold,
the blackbird’s a sight to behold;
his black wings sure ‘pop’
with red patches on top,
and he looks like a cop on patrol.

It displeases my Freya to see
My attention on just the TV,
But she knows where to go
To steal the show–
And her green eyes say, “No! Look at me!”

a thievin’ raccoon known as neil
laid his paws on all they could steal,
and maybe that’s why
he’d faithfully try
to wash them before every meal.

when my cat took me out for a walk,
i thought we might have a nice talk,
but she ran off ahead,
hearing nothing i said–
she ignored me and fled down the block!

A baby woodpecker named Brie
Would peck at the pines futilely–
It was hopeless until
She procured a small drill
From the carpenter ants in the tree.
