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.
