In the woods where creatures roam,
There are many friends to call our own.
A hummingbird flies swift and free,
Flitting about from tree to tree.

But there's a problem that we see,
A fox is chasing after he!
Quickly now, we must protect,
The little bird with so much respect.

A robin joins us on the way,
Together, we won't let the fox have his way.
With our beaks and tracks so small,
We'll stand our ground and not let him maul.

Even the chicken joins the fray,
Pecking and squawking to save the day.
And then a woodpecker lends a hand,
Drumming fiercely to scare the fox from our land.

Together we've won, the day is saved,
Our feathered friends and us unscathed.
We'll always protect each other, you see,
In this beautiful place where we roam free.
