Imminent Danger

Pesky squirrels have come out to frolic Their elders keeping a wary eye on Feral cats perching on the redwood fence To pounce upon the unsuspecting young With sharp talons extended razor sharp While their elders chatter warning signals The younger ones prance through the fresh-mown grass Ignoring the ever-present danger They could dash up the huge sycamore tree Into the safety of their birthing nest The unheeding will miss the summer sun.
