Little Red

Little Red
With jerking
Twerking
Bushy tail
Jumps from 
The ground to
The topmost rail
Tiny little feet
Slipping
Gripping
Birds scatter
In fluttery fear
Little Red is 
Getting near 
Copious amounts
Of sunflower seed
In the feeder built
For the birds to feed 
Red will eat till he
Can eat no more 
How much you ask
I don't keep score   
I will just fill the 
Feeder with more

They should call them squirrel feeders because it seems to be one of their favorite places to eat. Very cute Janet.

Some people put up squirrel guards. I don't. I like to feed anything that I see even if the seed is not free. It helps "make me complete," you see. (grin.)
