Year
To be a squirrel, whether in the brambles or
on tree branches matters little, as I'm carefree,
as I scurry swiftly across the top of the
wooden fence ~
these two klutzy dogs chase after me,
I'm quite satisfied with chattering at them,
they bark at me with their hopes and
self-respect way down,
their mistress scolds them in her robe
and nightgown,
when the acorns of September drop,
I have such fun,
I gather them with my fellow bushy-tailed
ones,
we store them in nooks and crannies
neath the autumnal sun,
then tease the dogs some more ~
oh, to be a squirrel is never a bore.
