Can Squirrels Tell It's Christmas?

Can squirrels tell it's Christmas,
Does anybody know?
Do they take their favourite acorn
And wrap it tightly in a bow?
Do they scamper up the old oak tree
To reach the branch above?
And do they give this Christmas present
To the squirrel that they love?

Can squirrels tell it's Christmas,
Does anybody know?
Do they stay up late on Christmas Eve
To hear that Ho! Ho! Ho!
Do they sit inside their tree-house
Looking out upon the sky?
And do they try to spot old Santa Claus
As he goes flying by?

Can squirrels tell it's Christmas,
Does anybody know?
Do they wrap themselves up snugly
And go playing in the snow?
Do they frolic in the snowflakes?
Are they filled with extra cheer?
Are they merrier than normal
At this festive time of year?

Can squirrels tell it's Christmas,
Does anybody know?
Do they sidle up beside their love
Beneath the mistletoe?
Do they stand beside each other
And in momentary bliss
Do they look into each other's eyes
And have a squirrel kiss?

Can squirrels tell it's Christmas,
Does anybody know?

I hope so.

I don't know but, hope so!! I have bird-feeders in my front yard one with sunflower seed to keep the gray and red squirrels fed; even have a little shelf between the Y in the tree that I put sunflower seed upon so the gray squirrels might get some feed instead of the feisty red squirrels. Oh, I also have some thistle seed bags to keep the finches happy. Year round I feed the critters; sometimes even deer walk thru to feed. Hope you're having a good year!! Sallie Bear

As you will probably tell, my poetry is nothing but glorified despondency. So I enjoy reading others' poetry that shines with jubilant joy..

great stuff, enjoying it much..
