Sky of sunshine blue

Squirrel scratches bare tree bark

Icicles melting

Winter Palace

Nest

Needs repair

Squirrels are busy

Carrying leaves through the trees

Build

Soon

Frost will come

And the winds with it

Yet all shall be warm and dry

Safe

Mutual Admiration

Squirrels wait each day

When she comes out of her house

They know what’s coming

They need the nuts she gives them

She enjoys being needed

Hoist the Main Tail

A little captain’s cap

Fits on the squirrel’s head

Insignia in red

The S. S. Nut

Just room for one on board

More than a rodent raft

A sturdy sailing craft

An acorn hull

Chasing Tails

Three squirrely whirlies

Playing tag in the tree

Filled with joy, so carefree

Come, watch the fun
