The Woodland Dance.

                                                               The Woodland Dance

There once was a wood where animals did dance
and no one could see them, not even a chance.

They would dance all day and dance all night.
No other animals showed such delight.

There were hedgehogs and badgers and some little frogs too.
Some squirrels and foxes and the odd little shrew.

They danced so beautifully, they danced so long,
nothing could stop them from dancing along.

Dancing around flowers, mushrooms and trees
and over the river through the woodland breeze.

But, why were they dancing? well nobody knows,
they danced in a wood where nobody goes.
