Squirrels Are Our Friends
My favorite little furry friends.
So, cunning, curious and quick.
Amazing to me their agility.
They’ve been here for an eternity, forty million years.
Not only have they escaped extinction but thrive among us in the tens of billions.
They mostly go unnoticed, ignored, hiding in plain sight.
But if you care to look closer maybe you will see.
They are friendly, funny and familiar.
And they’re very smart.
They remember each individual face of us.
Especially when you offer them a tasty peanut.
Amazingly they take the morsel, from your hand,
Delicately, gently and sweet.
My favorite sight is when they beg
Standing on two furry funny feet.
Looking sideways in my sliding glass door.
Hoping endlessly for a yummy delicious treat.
