Lazy Squirrel Tries Not To Freeze

lazy squirrel tries not to freeze
his claws feel cold and brittle
north wind is brisk
how much longer?

he remembers what his mother said
create the sturdiest nest you can
work on it when the leaves change colors
he wishes he had listened

Oh, I do wander how many young squirrels wish they had heeded their mother's advice when the cold winds blow.
