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

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

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

Three squirrely whirlies
Playing tag in the tree
Filled with joy, so carefree
Come, watch the fun

The little face poked out
Of the nest in the tree
Blinked, a new day to see
Sun on the rise
Happy little squirrel
Scampers down the branches
Off to take his chances
For adventure
