Sunglass Scurry

Just something a little light...


Five squirrels crowded onto a branch,  
each one dressed to stun:  
aqua shades, pink shades, purple shades,  
and one in classic sun.

But center stage is the showstopper~ 
a squirrel in a whirring hat,  
its tiny fan spinning proudly  
like he’s chief of all things “that.”

They chatter, pose, adjust their gear,  
a cheerful, nutty crew,  
delighted by their leafy perch  
and the sky’s wide, wandering view.

No drama here, no woodland fuss~  
just friends who came to play,  
a happy scurry of squirrels who know  
how to brighten up a day.

What a bright, playful little poem. The easy rhyme and jaunty rhythm suit the squirrels’ carefree posing perfectly, while details such as the colourful shades and whirring fan hat create a wonderfully visual, whimsical scene. “A happy scurry” is an especially fitting, cheerful closing image. The picture added to the giggles.🐿🤣
