Squirrels Go Nuts

The backyard squirrels are spooked,
there's a hawk around.
A cat creeps up on them
just as slow and quiet as a snail.

The squirrels are no dopes,
they see the hawk and the cat,
they understand that danger
is a kind of fun.

Looking for nuts and squirrelly sex,
are not all there is to life in the wild.

Unfortunately
the cat and the hawk know this as well.
