Squirrels, Three

Playing on the forest floor
I saw squirrels, three.
They scampered amongst the fallen leaves,
Then scurried up a tree.

I watched them in their antics
As they leapt from bough to bough,
Like acrobats on the high trapeze
Performing for a crowd.

Their joie de vivre apparent
It filled my heart with glee,
To see them running tail to tail,
Those little squirrels, three.
