The Day the

Bulldozers Came
DAVID ORME

The day the bulldozers came

Rooks were building
Crazy egg baskets in the oaks;
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,
And leapt from branches
That were hardly there.
The fox
Stirred in his sleep
As the ground trembled.
Ha ha he thought,
Im quite safe,
Deep down in the Earth,
No one can get me here.
Then the bulldozers came.

Imagine that you are a friend to

the fox. Write a note to inform him
that he should be worried about
the day the bulldozers comes.
Give a suggestion on what the fox
should do.
