    Stanza Poem Meaning

    The day the bulldozers came

    Rooks were building

    Crazy egg baskets in the oaks;


    Stanza 1
    Green flies sizzled by the pond

    And a cold-eyed toad

    Waited for them.

    The day the bulldozers came

    Squirrels were scattering

    Up tree trunks,
    Stanza 2 And leapt from branches

    That were hardly there.

    The fox

    Stirred in his sleep

    As the ground trembled.

    ‘Ha ha!’ he thought,

    ‘I’m quite safe,


    Stanza 3
    Deep down in the Earth,

    No one can get me here.’

    Then the bulldozer came.
