The Begger

Hellloooo inside there I can see you
The prospect of food and my brave grew
It’s getting quite cold
Hence why I’m so bold
Won’t you kindly spare a nut or two?

That's so cute. And a great narrative brought out by your creativity. A wonderful poem. Did you feed the cute beggar?

Thank you James!! I absolutely did not feed him .. because although they are cute, they are a nuisance. Just like chipmunks!! Appreciate your visit! ~ Judy

this is so cute, Judith. I found out recently they are referred to as tree rats in my sister's state. Gosh I had never seen them as rats before. I guess I like the rodent family!!

Thanks Andrea. They are kind of cute ... but a nuisance. This one was just too adorable to NOT take his picture :)

Aw, such a sweet poem, Judy. I feed the birds and squirrels in wintertime. Tho' the little fellas have to wait til I bring my dogs in. My dogs don't bother the birds however. Beaut of a pic. Very personable poem, easy as grace. Love and smiles always.

The birds need the sustainance in the winter. And they are so beautiful to watch on the feeder at any time of year :) Thanks for your always kind comments Freddie!!
