Here Is Sweet Night

It is night time now
Gone is the sun and the light
It is hard time when the sun is in sight
I and my family have to huddle in our burrow
Waiting for the sweet, sweet night
Oh, how dear is the darkness
When the world is safe and good again
When the troublesome humankind are away

There is peace when they leave us alone
What do they think coming here
In our innocent forests and bushes
In those noisy moving machines
Carrying numerous gadgets and watching us thus?
A Lousy and lazy kind!
When everyone of our day-shift comrades
Is busy hunting or foraging for food
These humans shamelessly keep following them
Doing nothing except to merely eyeball them
What a most irrational kind!
How this kind feed themselves
Is a matter nobody comprehends
We animals simply wonder
How could the powers that be
Make these fellows rule the world
But that is a matter for the gods to tell
Come everybody, come
Get ready we are going out to hunt
And find the food for the night
And eat and be merry
And go back to sleep before the sun rises
