Nikki

Nikki came to England in the back of a brand new Transit van

She had been in East Africa when the poachers shot down a whirlybird

Just days before the dentist had shot a Lion in the nature reserve

The WWF for nature were feeding carrots to an African Elephant

They claimed these animals were in danger of becoming extinct

The Maasi warriors, the bushmen of the Kalahar, the red indians and the Aborigines

Were being slowly wiped out by pestilence and disease

The sun rose in the East that day it showed the forest in all its glory

The planet could be seen from outer space there was no deforestation, no trees were set alight

The meandering river lead to the St Lawrence water way from the Great Lakes to the Atlantic Ocean

The sepia images turned to black and white and then technicolour came along

Teaching all the children another happy song
