Peek a Boo

The squirrel this morning hid behind the wall but there was a bushy tail sticking up over the top. It was funny so I wrote this. Every morning I throw out nuts I like to see you and the birds it makes me happy to see you there enjoying them all beyond words You sit on the stone wall then run when I appear you're so timid and shy I won't disturb, not here It's lovely to see you little twitchy nose and all you don't need to worry you're so sweet and small Fill up your tummy enjoy all the nuts leave some for the birds the big ones may cut It's funny when you hide think I can't see you're trail peek a boo little one above the wall, just a bushy tail.
