The Lynx

farmers and land owners
Can’t see beyond
Their noses alas
Being not very fond
Of the idea of predators walking about
Predating on deer and boar
There’s no doubt
We need them, their solitary
And what they will do
Is spread a bit of fear about
Which is then true
The victims will move
Not eat every leaf
And all the young saplings
It’s beyond belief

No wolves and no bears
The champions who
Predate and control
The herds it is true
We need them for balance
Like the Scottish wildcat
Doing it’s naturals
That’s where it’s at

In these forest abroad
Great tall firs reach the sky
In Norway and Elsewhere
Their progressively true
To themselves to environments
That’s what we need
Bringing back balance
For us to succeed.
