Watching Disco Squirrel

Disco squirrel now will reach for the stars
I watch and he takes off; being all ours.
The onlookers are amazed as he goes into a spin.
It’s amazing the fantastic shape he is in!

It’s all that chasing he does during the day.
He has a girlfriend, and boy, do they play!
They have worn a path around my oak tree.
I smile at the warm happy memory.

How did he get his name? A newcomer asks. And why?
Watch him for a few seconds, I eagerly reply.
Oh, wow! He does have the moves! She says now.
He can twist and groove and he packs lots of pow!

Enjoyed Caren, they are delightful creatures to watch. My Missy is just sure she can catch one, but those days are far behind her.

They are hilarious when they chase each other around the trunk of a tree.

(chuckling) You know how much I enjoy watching the squirrels play. I'm under the weather today, Caren, with stomach upset, etc., so I'm going to move on. I'll catch up later.
