Ode to Squirrel

Small fluffy one
who scampers in the sun
I pay homage to you

Your zippy ways
your carefree days
my friend, you're never blue

You shuck your nut
as you swish somewhat,
your bushy little tail

O king of the tree
you're feral and free
hunting nuts on the mountain trail

You're frantic, yet wise
your blank stare a disguise
Dear sir, you deserve some praise

You're majestic, and it's no lie
your song I'll sing till the day I die!
My nutty Brother, I honor your ways
