A Peanut Holder

The squirrels are funny
They are also smart
A peanut holder bought
Hung onto a she shepherd's
                rod
No success -he slides downward
So he did some thinking
He climbed the wooden fence
From there he got to the feeder
He took the peanut holder
Ran off with it in his mouth
It was put up for a while
The peanut holder gone
The yard was searched
The nut holder never found
The squirrel hid it well

Have a nice day my friend.

Caren Krutsinger Date: 8/31/2018 7:25:00 PM Darlene, this reminds me of my father who spent the last five years of his life trying to "outsmart" the squirrels. He finally gave up and put out a bowl of corn on the deck next to the kitchen for them. They would rap on the slider with their claws when they were out, chastising him for letting the bowl run out. When he started to love them, everything changed. Thank you for your lovely poem which was my quick reminder. Login to Reply Darlene De Beaulieu Date: 9/1/2018 12:47:00 PM Hello Caren, I am pleased that this poem brought you memories. Good memories. I am surprised that they like corn. Thank you for the lovely comment. Have a nice day my friend.
