A toad on the path at dusk. 
Hopping along with a gentle musk 
He greets me with a croaky smile, And invites me to stay for a while.

A grass snake basking in the midday sun. 
Slithering and sliding, having some fun 
He shows me his scales of green and gold, 
And tells me stories of old

A pair of tawny owlets playing in a tall oak. 
Flapping and chirping, making a joke 
They wink at me with their big round eyes, 
And share with me their wisdom and surprise.
