November
Rather gloomy month weather-wise
everything on the retreat.
Birds flock together forming roosts
for warmth and heat.
Predators while away the daylight
hours waiting in the roosts.
The returning juicy innocents
give their hunger a boost.
Many woodland birds fall
to weasels and stoats.
They climb to great heights
then attack neck or throats.
In my happy school days
November was a treat.
For the biggest bonfire
the estate would compete.
Weeks before the fifth
collecting timber starts
Nicking wood off other piles
to better our counterparts.
Staying awake all hours to watch
for revenge attacks.
Cometh the great night
and everyone relaxed.
