The following children’s poem was written in response to Crispina’s weekly challenge.
There’s a tree in the field where squirrels love to play
The trunk is partially hollowed out, come with me to see it today
I’ll introduce you to my friends
You’ll see that there are ten
A family of squirrels that all have names
They are friendly and quite tame
Mama likes to sit on my boot
She really is such hoot
Squirrel Daddy
Never treats anyone badly
Then there is Fuzzy whos never bathed
He was very stinky the other day
The eldest girls name is Pearly
and yes she is squirrely
Next, there are the twin’s Skippy and Slappy
They’re so much fun and always happy
A flying squirrel whose name is Rocky
His mama says he’s quite cocky
Another male, that’s quite burly
Due to his tail, his name is Curly
Abby is my favorite girl
She loves to whirl and twirl
The last of the ten is named Sandy
She’s always asking me for candy
Please come along with me today
Meet the squirrels who love to play

So cute! If we had squirrels around here I’d probably give them fun names. 🙂

Awww! What a lovely family. My dog Toby is driven crazy daily by neighboring squirrels. I am convinced they do it on purpose. lol
