Squirrelly

His nuts were in the open
He couldn’t hide them well
The females that had noticed
Were under his nut spell
He tried to hide them quickly
But, it was much too late
As the female with the biggest nerve
Did not hesitate
She approached him rather quickly
As his nuts were there to see
While trying to conceal them
He showed her he had three
The look that she had given
Was more than he could bear
So he offered all them to her
As she couldn’t help but stare
She so eagerly accepted
And grabbed them up so fast
She needed to have them quick
For fear they wouldn’t last
She quickly turned and ran
As saddened then was he
But he knew, he did what’s right
As he climbed, then up the tree

We have a squirrel in the neighbourhood and I love to sit and watch as he looks for food. Funny little guys but they sure make you smile. God Bless Phyl
