Little Squirrel

"Little Squirrel"
 

I hear the chatter,
     I hear the whirl.
 
I hear the noise,
     of the intruding squirrel.
 
The damage isn't slight,
     and I hope they don't bite.
 
Something must be done,
     or else they have won.
 
So what can I do,
     how can I win.
 
If I do nothing,
     they'll come back again.
 
I don't want to hurt them,
     don't want them to suffer.
 
I just don't want them,
     to come here for supper.
 
I could leave them a trail,
     of nuts to my neighbor.
 
But how do I know,
     they won't come back later.
 
I like squirrels until they come in,
     so I'll keep on trying until I win.
