Badgers       Mike Jubb

Brock meets brock in a Wiltshire wood,
After dark, to forage for food;
Digging around for a bite to eat:
Grubs and other tasty treats;
Earthworms are their choice delight.
Rummaging raiders, with black and white
Stripes in the night. Stripes in the night.
 
 
 
Notes:
 
Moderate use of alliteration.
 
'wood' & 'food' are near rhymes.
 
There is no pause after 'white'. This run-on is technically known as enjambment.
