Little creatures with furry hides

Run and scuttle from every stride

Innocents with simple minds

To seek, eat and always hide

Small beating hearts under shadows of wings

Seeking safety from all beasty things

A Cockatoo screeches it’s warrior song

Creature spotted near a Billabong

A warning cry to his lagging mates

A furry creature ahead now waits

Amongst the reeds and the rushes

Hiding under a tree of singing thrushes

The Cockies search along the river

Seeking out all those that quiver

Their persistence to cause trouble

To creatures that do stop and huddle

A forceful wind blows howling loud

Cockatoos screech in a chorus crowd

Alas the land blows all things bare

The wind exposes the furry hare

Little creature shook its hairy frame

It’s perilous run was now in vain

In one loud swoop it’s fate is sealed

Little creature is now a Cockie’s meal
