Rodents on Speed

In honor of the three squirrels playing tag immediately outside my window yesterday, snarling, chirping and tearing bark from the tree, I found an appropriate poem I had written awhile ago. :) Here's to you, Frick, Frack and Frannie. :)

Feeling Squirrelly

Chitter, chatter!
What's the matter?
Little squirrel couldn't be fatter.

Sitting up in a tree
Zipping round and round so free
Throwing acorns down on me.

Spazzy rascals move real quick
Sitting on a limb's dead stick.
Watch that tail! How it flicks.

Calling warning of dire sort
Chattering back in fine retort.
In a swirl around their fort.

Front lines of fine defense
Throwing acorns on offense
All their secrets in suspense.
