Moving house just recently
From coast to far inland
Thought I would miss the water
The boats the sea the sand
And for sometime I did
Until I had been there for awhile
Amidst the trees and shady bits
I began to change my style
For at the back of my place
The trees surround the path
For many inland creatures
Stare me in the face
I am getting so excited
As the squirrels beat their retreat
At the sight of me just staring
As they try to get their eat
For you see my neighbour feeds them
Full of peanuts and other stuff
Sometimes several get there
Then things get very rough
With food all gone
They look to see who`s near
Then at the neighbours window
They suddenly appear
So you see that inland my place
Can be so exciting
As all the inland creatures
Can be so inviting
