My Sciuridae Friend

I watched this morning, as you walked along the rail,
your little pudgy body and long curled tail
I watched you stop a moment, meant to warm your paws,
wondering, if you saw me looking, from the windows veil

Bitter cold today, as I see your tail begin to furl,
the snow covered landscape, reminds me of a mural
Yet, I feel I recognize your sciuridae face,
Wait! I know you! oh my! your Spike the Squirrel

We have something in common as animal lovers. And this is well written tribute to one.
