Feeling Squirrelly

Rodents on speed....

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.

lol.. I so love this but ... I'm the weirdo in the neighborhood that feeds her squirrels until they're as fat as the rabbits..lol

You have a way of recreating fun scenes and making people laugh.

Can't get away from those pesky rodents! I can't even walk through my backyard without being pelted with acorns! Couldn't they eat something softer? Well written and easy to relate to!

Very nice visual.

Very amusing and light-hearted, with it not at all being cheesy. Simple, yet fantastic! Thanks for the awesome read!
