Dancing With a Squirrel

I drank the magic potion to make me small,
So I could go about the grass and prance,
A grey and white tuxedo so I can look tall,
As I ask the cutest of squirrels to dance.

In my arms, amongst the acorns,
We floated like freed bubbles,
On the outskirts of the farm,
Where the shade brought us no trouble.

"I met you in my dreams",
I told my rodent friend,
Twirling tail brushing against my seams,
Please don’t let this dance never ever end.

Sometimes being small,
Is the greatest time of all!

I'm curious about the difficulty of dancing with such little legs. Your level of imagination in these lines is astonishing. You make me smile.

Ahhh!! What an imagination you have exhibited in these lines. I wonder how hard it would be to dance on legs that short? Thanks for the visit to my page. Sara
