Notes About The Poem

Contest: Brian Strand Premiere Choice
   Sponsor: Brian Strand ~ 2022, 8th Place

Entered, July 11, 2026,  Contest, "Favorites Footle," Sponsor, Karen Jones
 

Nutty Squirrel

He stops
   Then hops

	On sill
	   His thrill
 
To peek
   And seek

	Highjack
	   A snack

Eyes flare
   With glare

	Embrace
	   My face

To hand
   A grand

	Cool treat
	   To eat

Give bread
   Instead

        Not fit
           Drops it!

Seems mad
   So bad

        Bites thumb!
           I'm glum!

I sway
   Give way

        Throw nuts
           He gluts!

Spoiled brat!
   Now scat!
