~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Young Nibbles, a squirrel so grand, Preferred candy to nuts in his hand. He revoked the tiny oak, And of chocolate he only spoke. "These acorns," he'd scoff, "taste like sand!" He swapped nuts for gumdrops and lollies, Scaled gutters for sweet pocket jollies. His cheeks bulged like a flour sack, For hiding his stash, he had quite the knack. Chomped on the candy called creepy-crawlies. One day he found a candy store, And stuffed his fur 'til he could hold no more. But his teeth all developed decay, So he sadly swapped that day... For dentist-recommended celery galore!
