Happy Holiday! ! ! lapwing (Vanellus Vanellus) Poem by john (called jack) wren

Friend of the harrowed ground
and master of twisting flight
hunter of those who are found
hiding under soil out of sight.

Blest with a wonderful curled crest
and a coat of iridescent green
he's the farmer's honoured guest
who helps with the Spring clean.

A happy chap, well turned out
when on holiday by the sea
who likes to get out and about
visiting mud flats for tea.

The Sun salutes you, with a smile
and the Sky paints itself blue
the waning Moon loves your hairstyle
while the Wind thinks you're a cockatoo.
