Big Appetite

Big Mouth

Sidney Squirrel ate nuts and dates and those sorts of things

But one day he ate a bee's nest, and that super crazy stings

No matter what he usually gobbled, it tasted really neat

But bee's nest aren't really meant, for little squirrels to eat

His mouth got swollen up, till it was bigger than his head

Which let him eat pumpkins whole, and kept him nicely fed

And eating oranges by the dozen, meant he got lots of pulp

No matter what he ate, it all went down in one big gulp

When the swelling went away, his mouth shrunk back to size

In one week he lost 50lbs. which was quite a surprise

But could climb to the highest branch, with never ending ease

And he'd spend all day and night, climbing through the trees

But no matter how much he ate, it didn't sustain him for long

He had to eat day and night, just so he could stay real strong

So he decided to eat another bee's nest for his lunch

And now he can once again, consume bananas by the bunch

My oh my! He must have to climb up on some very strong branches! I'm curious though, where does this squirrel live that he has access to bananas by the bunch?
I envy your gift for the the imaginative way you deal with your characters.

Take care - Dave

oh dear, i though my imagination was quite wild, but you take it to extremes of laughter.

Much enjoyed and very whacky lol

You just never know what these squirrels will get to

Just when I thought I'd seen the breadth of your imagination, I find out you can stretch it even further! I love your rhyme & rhythm, I love your use of the little critters in your playful storytelling, but more than anything I'm just awed by your ability to think up a storyline that goes on forever! I read on with a sense that this couldn't get any crazier, & it does! Hope your 2019 is full of your delightful crazies for us to enjoy (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

Ha! You're kwazy! Are you sure you didn't used to work at Looney Tunes? This one's hilarious! It sure looks like you're gonna keep us in stitches for 2019.

Morning Samuel
Hope all went well over the New Year celebration
Actually fairly quiet here
My son and his kids climbed with friends to a mountain top (just behind us) and I went to bed which was all the excitement I could handle
Best in the New Year

I heard fireworks and dogs howling from my bed. Wife and son sat up, but not me.
