Badgers are creatures of the mustelidae family
They are creatures by day one seldom does see
As they are mostly nocturnal of an omnivorous diet
And are sturdy and quiite strong with a keen appetite
Mostly dark gray with white on their face
Quite distinctive from all other species of the mustelid race
They eat roots and dig for earthworms and on rabbits, hedgehogs and frogs do prey
And they break into fowl sheds and kill fowl though not often one can say
They line their sett with new bedding in the grey of twiliight
Before going out in search of food for the night
Due to persecution by humans badgers are becoming rare
Something of which Nature lovers are aware
To the weasel family they do belong
For their size they are sturdy and deceptively strong.
