I Was That Squirrel

Creatures, the most sceptic-eyed
With quick to fright weakness
Against a little girl's trust
Do rub them. More robust!

I was that squirrel! She, you!
From out whose hiding place
No sooner your hands implored
In whose excited step
Came. That park bench, once jumped up
Stared, sat with; face to face!
