Stonebridge City Farm, a poem by Ron Gardner

You can stroll back into childhood At Stonebridge City Farm - The animals will lure you there Such innocent, earthly charm. We look Olivia and Amy Grandaughters, as our guide To this wonderland of creatures With no deviousness to hide. Hands outstretched, the children Offered food to gatherings of goats Who looked and licked and gobbled As though being handed ten pound notes. The big fat sow, however, With the piglet feeding at her teat, Content to snuffle at the grass, Ignored the hand-held treat. Another field was white with geese All snuggled in the grass The pond was waiting for them But today they let it pass. A second pond had wiggly things Darting here and there And lethargic little water-snails. These things made the children stare. A friendly man called out to us To hurry come and see A hip - hop frog a leaping In a bed of green parsley. Amy was excited Had not seen one before She bent to see it closely Nature study was no chore. Then they sat to stroke a rabbit And nurse a guinea pig We, too, reached out to touch them Soft, warm, not very big Another friendly farm hand Spoke about the bees.

We tasted their pure honey It was truly the bees knees. He pulled out a box of honey combs As the bees had left it now Amy explored it with her hands The farmer showed her how. We saw and heard the chickens One handsome cockerel Lifted its beak to give A cock-a-doodle-doo Worthy to be included In an avian Who's Who. A cage of fluttering rainbows Flitting from perch to pole Would capture admiration From every living soul. And sun-flowers bearing down on us, Trees with apples thick on boughs, Notices declaring names For ponies, pigs and cows. And with all this a little park With slides and things to climb Where children (and some grand pa pas) Can have a vigorous time. And finally, the café where, Whilst taking cake and tea, You can look at photographs and posters Giving Stonebridge history. Thank you men and women Who for nearly thirty years Have worked to make this special place Worth far more than just three cheers. 02/09/08 Ron Gardner
