~ Da! Da! ~

 

He cheerfully cycles in before the morning sun,

“Da! Da!” A greeting from all the little ones,

Hello babies, I will be with you very soon,

“Da! Da!” It’s time for milk, and shows you we’re alive,

Stretching calves and frolicking the day has just begun,

Youngest and healthy calves champion first licks,

Eldest and the sick, will be tended to later on,

New-borns suckling mothers’ ambrosia ale,

The rest Andy’s white marvel special brew,

Buckets and teats, swirling of splashing silk,

And with munchies a caring special word,

After the feast and merriment, He takes his leave,

Now you’ve had your breakfast, I’ll check you later on,

“Da!” doesn’t forget to bring us our lunch and tea.
