Coles Rythm

A chapter in the book Love of Animals

European Robin

by Bucketlist

The robin is easily concerned
Quiet places are yearned
Seeks garden soil freshly turned
Worms and bugs never spurned
Dinner earned

Socially it is nervous and shy
Sudden moves in it's eye
Cause food drops, for quick takeoff to fly
'til danger passes by
DInner earned

Has a small bright sparkly pair of eyes
It's one third of the size
Of American cousins, surprise!
Fast, less chance of demise
Dinner earned


This type has two tall thin spindly legs
Hops through the snowdrop beds
They're cute when they cock their little heads
Twitter as one then begs
Dinner earned?
