Ode to a Squirrel
Ode To a Squirrel
It sure looks like fun
Poised in the trees
Lord and master
Of all that you see
Seems like you always
Do as you please
Sometimes I wonder
Do you get fleas?
Flitting and flirting
From this limb to that
A gymnast, a tumbler
One great acrobat
You make all that danger
Look like old hat
Sometimes I wonder
Will you go Ker-Splat!
I could an actor
Or maybe an Earl
A millionaire rock star
Surrounded by girls
Of all the wild things
To do in this world
Some days I'd rather
Just be like that squirrel!

AUTHORSquirrels are neat little animals, except when they trash the bird feeders! Thanks for the comments.
This is an amusing poem! I see squirrels very often where I live. The next time I see one—which may be as soon as tomorrow—I'll be thinking of your poem.

I've been seeing them around more lately. Won't be long before the warm weather is here. Thanks for stopping by!
Oh, watching squirrels is a form of entertainment for me at the Cottage. I am so looking forward to seeing them again this Spring. This is so true of them.
