Moorhen Chicks
Two fluffy black Moorhen chicks
racing against each other
Run across the Lilly pads
trying to catch their mother
Like a speeded up tv sketch
from the Benny Hill show
Like old fashioned clock work toys
wind them up and watch them go

A nice poem, Julie. I love moorhens. Mind you, old fashioned toys are a bit more PC than Benny Hill nowadays, or was he just being ironic?
