Front Row Seats

The squirrels scamper in the snow So when they climb the tree, A dust of whiteness flutters down Like lace embroidery. It settles back from whence it came Until the game resumes And once again, the threat of havoc From each squirrel looms. I'm watching from the windows On a bright white sunny day And enjoying, gratis, front row seats To Nature's matinee.
