Animals of the arcade, Farthing Wood we ain’t
Admissions must be made, not one of us is a saint
A motley crew are we, I suppose it takes allsorts
We share coffee, we share tea and we always share our thoughts
Such different species we all are yet side by side we stand
For even when we’re below par, we are a merry band
The chicken in her chilly room, she feels she’s lost her way
But we all know sunshine or gloom, she delivers every day
The pony keeps us all amused, trotting through the mob
But actually we are quite confused, what exactly is her job?
The wise owl often reads a book to pass the endless hours
She sits and shivers in her nook despite her selling powers
The elegantly pretty deer makes everything seem easy
No matter how she feels when here, she’s always bright and breezy
The deer has an assistant, a sleepy little mouse
Who can be quite persistent as she sells things for the house
And then there is the blackbird feeding everybody’s chicks
Variation is her key word as a future spouse she picks
Last and certainly not the most, the weasley little man
Who acts like he’s the perfect host but cons you if he can
And so each day we all display this animal behaviour
Six happy souls and one convinced he’s our sodding saviour!
