WHO IS THAT?
Who is that rustling in the bushes,
Come out and let me see.
If you are gentle we could become good friends
If bad I will scramble up the nearest tree.
Oh, you are a very brave little Kiwi.
Where is your mum, you should not stroll far,
Stay alert, as there are possums, cats, and rats around.
They would snap you up with teeth, claws and a snarl.
I so want you to carry your genes into the future
As you have in this land up till now, just managed to survive.
Help is at hand with traps to catch those that are cruelly after you.
I now feel hopeful, you and your offspring are going to survive.
