Dusk Delayed…
Dusk had been delayed
By a stubborn setting sun, hunching.
A mouse, with artful fidgets scurried
And through untidy shrubs and foliage hurried;
A buzzard hedge-hopped along the lane,
Then badgers began to appear
From their sett’s protective shade…
Four eager badgers, unafraid
Began to feed, loudly munching.
A piercing blackbird’s chorus carried
From an unseen perch, as it tarried,
To delight with tuneful refrain;
Then the badgers offered a theatre clear
For their performance: a joyous escapade…
