Moorhen Chicks

entry picture

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?
