Tale of a Squirrel and Me

  A squirrel jumped onto my windowsill
    It was not afraid of me
  I winked at it, proffered a cup
    Mouthed, ‘Would you like some tea?’

  It hopped on in and dipped its head
    right into the scalding hot tea
  And that was the first and last time
    that varmint took an invite from me
