Fat Willy (Wagtail) Poem by Helen Antonas

We have a little bird, who we call fat willy
You might think it's odd or even a bit silly

He's a big fat willy wagtail who lives with us at home
He hops around the swimming pool and on the garden gnome

He is looking out for insects to catch and eat for tea
I am glad I am not an insect otherwise he would eat me

He hops upon the pool hose to get the bugs that float
Uh oh! ! ! ! he ate a huge one and it looks like its stuck in his throat

He keeps us amused every day with his flitting all about
His lovely black and white colouring and his big chest sticking out

What a wonderful gift he is giving by being here each day
I just hope our Fat Willy decides never to go away.
