Does anybody care about this useful creature
animal rights activists worry about furry features
but when it comes to the defense of uglier beasts
we would just as well add more meat to our feasts

Farmers in England complain of mole hills
would activists worry about a slump in this kill?
the varmit aerates the soil and controls other unsavory creatures
all creatures belong to a mesh of balances, so say
biology teachers.

come and dig along with the furry beast
poorly eyed creature digs well beneath peat,
underground projects have adopted its name
moles or spy heros who sniffed out the enemy arms
took fame.

Others moles are found over our skin and bodies
their light or darker traits depend run in our families
raised tissue whose colour is caused by pigment cells
used to be regarded as becoming on faces,women would tell.

more facial moles arise against harmful rays
its namesake in the ground still want to stay,
of the mole who informs, like their skin cousins plenty are found
to keep national 'exposure' safe and within reasonable bounds.

this was very cool,
I don't know if there were any deeper meanings, but at face value, you presented a very insightful view.

I do write between the lines, and there is more here than at face value, the idea of mole as being an undercover person was adopted from his namesake mole that leaves away from sunlight and rarely emerges
keep in touch C?

I loved the way you played the double entendre here, Martin.
