Two Squirrels In Love

Two Squirrels in Love

Alas! There there are at the break of day 
With the new sun warming their curly tails.
There they are dancing from tree top to tree top
Like Fred Estare and Ginger Rogers.
Breaking in the new day with a new dance
As their hearts swell with sheer delight.
Two squirrels in love 
Sharing their paradise of all paradises.
A quaint little park at the end of the street
A place where lovers meet.
A place where hearts connect for the very first time.
But it’s all theirs!
The dance floor for these two squirrels in love-
It’s all theirs!
Dancing on the branches of the elm trees above
A paradise for two.
Or shall we say three?
For next spring there shall be three!
Father squirrel, mother squirrel, and little squirrel
 chasing each other on the branches 
of the tallest elm trees.
