The Undergrowth Poem by David Boyce

The undergrowth

You look into the undergrowth
From above you see nothing
But inside there are little animals
Which are living deep within

You don't see them in daylight
Cos they rarely make a sound
They sometimes hide in the undergrowth
Or burrow underground

Some blend in with the background
To help them to survive
They stay still when they sense you
That's how they stay alive

The forage through the undergrowth
To find things for their feed
They don't eat everything at once
They just take what they need

So please take care in the undergrowth
Where they have lived and fed
Cos if you damage their habitat
These animals will end up dead
