I’m a huge fan of nature documentaries. I have been since I was a kid. At this time, I’ve got to say nobody can hold a candle to the BBC.

I recently picked up BBC Africa. While watching the first episode, I was reminded again of just how much I love their work. My 17th NaPoWriMo piece is a tribute to the BBC and their incredible teams.

Enjoy!

BBC Nature

I’d like to thank the BBC
I am a nature nut.
They bring all life’s wonders to me
While I sit on my butt.

They show me things I’d never see
Places I’d never go.
I’ve learned some things while watching them
I’d otherwise not know.

I’ve seen a cave that’s full of bats
And monkeys in hotsprings.
There’s beetles, sharks, volcanoes, more
Ten thousand wondrous things.

Through them I’ve been to India
Seen ocean’s hidden sights.
Watched bower bird build up his nest
So many more delights.

So thank you to the BBC
And all your roving teams.
For showing me these visions that
I’d only seen in dreams

Cheers, Winston
