A Squirel's Life

Pat, pat, pat, and that is that;

scratch, scratch, scratch, where was that?

Nuts in the ground,

are they ever found?

Paw over paw, claws over claws...

winters that gnaw,

empty stomachs wait for the thaw,

Can't make a map,

don't take a nap!

Fuzzy gray fur, just a small blur,

clinging to trees, nobody sees.

Climbing thin branches, taking their chances;

can anyone find their trail?

Gray squirrel, gray squirrel, swish your bushy tail!
