Mother Nature calls For her children of the forest To come out from hiding To enjoy the warmth and love Of the atmosphere, To establish friendships, And also, to create Everlasting partnerships!

Being so observant, He detected the remnants Of a delectable feast In a garbage bin positioned Further to the right side of the porch. He was so sure that No one would ever notice, That based upon his strategic moves, The tantalizing aroma would entice His sense of smell and taste To achieve his ultimate goal. Nevertheless, the squirrels did not utilize Teamwork to their advantage. However, with careful planning and execution, The fox knew the place and time of When the garbage was disposed. A conniving fox used His intelligent brain to accomplish His intended goal. Ultimately, the housewife had No idea of what transpired.
