Bilby

In my little cool burrow

where I sleep all day

I awaken at night

for food out I hop

running over the sand as fast as I can go

hop

leap

run

I find grubs in the soil

so delicious and sweet

at last I head back to my little cool burrow

where I meet my bilby friends waiting for me

their black and white tails under the moon

glowing like little white opals soft and new

I say good morning and go to bed

good morning
