Sunlite Wanter Poet Couplet

Mister Nuts

Mr. Nuts

Mr. Nuts made an impression one day
As he scampered to the feeders to play.

Mr. Nuts stood at attention and looked,
Watched me while I read my book.

Confident, tame he could afford to be,
For I was no danger to him or me.

I picked a crust of this morning’s bread,
Held it in my fingers to his head.

Never but what I thought he’d run away,
Tho he wanted that bread determined to stay.

He pinched my fingers between his own,
As if I were the nut he intended to own.

He nibbled the bread, I had a happy tear,
Felt like St. Francis, never did fear

To make friends with Mr. Nuts.

William Craychee February 15, 2018 at 4:51 PM I have the same relationship with a hummingbird feeder. Enjoyed the read.

Constance La France February 13, 2018 at 6:24 PM Sun, a delightful poem, we have tons around where I live and they are quite tame. I had one make a nest on my porch one winter behind a folded table. She had her babies and left in the late spring

Kai Michael Neumann February 11, 2018 at 2:20 AM A squirrel (?) Cute. I miss them in my new home place (South Africa) where Europe is far. Many wishes, Kai Sunlite Wanter February 11, 2018 at 10:06 AM I'm naive - I thought they were everywhere, even in South Africa! Thank you for reading and your comment.

Tom Cunningham February 11, 2018 at 1:37 AM Lovely animals to see outside but I've heard if they get into your house they can be quite destructive. Regards Tom Sunlite Wanter February 11, 2018 at 10:04 AM Yes, they can be destructive - chewing wiring, etc. but here they cannot be legally killed - only trapped. Thank you for reading and commenting.

Jan Allison February 10, 2018 at 4:15 PM absolutely charming Sunlite - we do not have squirrels on our island, they talking about introducing them next year but it would have upset the balance of the eco system:-( hugs Jan xx Sunlite Wanter February 11, 2018 at 10:01 AM Some people really hate them because they get into attics, etc. But in my city, it is illegal to destroy them - only set traps if needed.
