Hop, hop, hop goes the fly-catcher,
If not a fly, then a grub will do!
A dance here and a step there,
If not a fly then a grub will do!
Perched on a string, stare the Bee-eaters, (with
Intent Kohl-painted eyes) into the wind
For a bee to eat. If not a bee then a fly with
Zest will do, even as they flit into the wind.
A knock here and a poke there, wonder
What a Hoopoe is doing on the ground!
Drill n hammer balanced well, as under
A tree it hops, if not worm a fly to pound.
A dive here, a jump there, snap goes
The beak on a lazy fish, the Kingfisher
Sits back to eat its fish! If a fish won't
Do, a frog will do for a change of taste!
