             Squirrel!

I saw a squirrel spread eagle

On the trunk of a dog wood tree.

His head hung down, his butt stuck up,

Though his eyes were fixed on me.

 

"Well, Brother Squirrel," I said to him,

"Your grip seems quite tenacious."

"Safety first,"  the squirrel replied,

"That soaring Hawk's rapacious!"
