Squirrels at Play

Mary and Harry


(Squirrels playing around the Oaktree

The first thing this morning that’s what I see

The snow didn’t keep them inside today

They were anxious to get out and play

Digging down deep in the glistening white snow

Searching for the acorns buried last fall below

They find what they need to eat for the day

No need to hoard so it’s back out to play

Round and round the trees they chase

It goes on for hours No one ever wins the race

We could learn a lesson from these little fellows

Take only what you need and try to stay mellow

Hard times will come and hard times will go

Watch the birds and squirrels 🐿 as they put on a show
