The Simple Life of a Squirrel

sitting here on a park bench in Washington Square Park with the flowers out in full bloom watching the pretty young girls walking by watching the gray squirrels running about looking for nuts they scurry about on the grassy lawns sometimes running into each other when finding something they believe special they separate from the crowd with their prize and tuck it away in a secret place and then back to the hunt only later to return to the prize to claim it not to flaunt it but to consume it to survive and then back to the hunt
