SAM THE SQUIRREL

SAM THE SQUIRREL ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sam the Squirrel had a hunger profound In a park, he was often found, With nuts in his cheeks so tight, He scurried with all his might, But alas, his appetite had no bound. One day, as he climbed up so high, In a tree with a nut-laden sky, Saw bird feeder, what a sight! 'Twas filled with a feast, a delight, "This snacking's too good to pass by!" With a cleverness that took them aback, He pilfered birds’ seeds in munchy attack, Birds squawked and complained quite loud, Sam the Squirrel was quite proud, His cunning had earned him smorgasbord snack.

A delightful and lighthearted story! Sam was clearly thinking about his following munch robbery as I watched him work, his expression exaggerated and his eyes shining. I couldn't help but smile at the way your rhymes came together, Dear Sara.

thanks for your clever comments about Sam's 'munch robbery.' I modeled this poem after our neighborhood squirrel who steals birdseed from everyone's bird feeders. Thanks for appreciating the rhyme scheme as well. Enjoy your weekend, Sara

What a charming and playful tale! I could see Sam in action—cheeks puffed, eyes gleaming, and plotting his next snack heist. Your rhymes flow so smoothly, and the ending made me grin from ear to ear.
