A Furl of Tails and Toast

Squirrels like toasted treats.
It makes them quite happy.
You won't hear them complain.
Just munching right away.

          With twirls!
          Swirls too!
          Those girls!
          Pearls true.
          Tails a furl.

sara Etgen-Baker September 22, 2025 at 4:59 PM I, too, am fascinated with squirrels. I watch them from my office window....sometimes to the point of being a distraction. Nicely executed poem. Danny Derden September 22, 2025 at 5:51 PM Thank you.

Duke Beaufort September 22, 2025 at 4:35 AM Danny, they are fun to watch, and hopefully stay outside the house!! You write a lot. I'm impressed by that since it's not what I do at all. It's a real talent you have. Quality and quantity. Smiles! Danny Derden September 22, 2025 at 2:08 PM I think sometimes I stretch it a bit much...but I have fun doing it and if it makes someone laugh or smile or think or perhaps more importantly REthink it is well worth my time.
