Rabbits, possum,racoon, deer,
How nice to see you gathered here.
Now, speaking for the human race,
I'm proud to say, we own this place.

And we're improving our domain.
We've put in pipes to make it drain.
We've cut down shrubs and leveled ground
And bulldozed trees all around.
See those little flags? They show
Where cable will eventually go.

This may not please some folks like you.
You were here first. We know that's true.
And to be fair, here's what we'll do:
We'll set aside a place or two,
Room enough for quite few,
In the nearby county zoo.

Sorry, No questions. Our schedule's tight.
I'm sure things will turn out all right.
Meantime, folks, we're getting paid
To get sixty-four foundations laid.

Dom Mart,
this is a good write and I agree with you. I sometimes thinks housing estates should be called real estate un-development.
Be well

but it is the loss that shapes the image,

We're losing more and more ground every day...how many houses does the world need, anyway?   Another great poem, Dom!
