Squirrels

Squirrels in trees
foraging for nuts.
Raiding bird feeders,
filling their huts.

Fat gray ones seen,
moving in struts.
Loudly chattering,
with twitching butts!

Thanks Tania, we have too many of them where I am. They tend to dig up everything and try to get inside during winter. They are cute though!
