Moving along
proficient with acrobatic flight
the squirrel jumps in the trees
entertaining all in sight
Time for an adventure
he shouts to his friends
time to search for treats
near the park’s end
There it is
the feeder is in site
each takes a position
ready for the fight
Coming in all directions
there is a battle cry
meeting in the center
the feeder is not high
An unexpected visitor
a hawk appears
taking a dive
he is quite near
Scurrying to the left
another to the right
proficient with speed
moving out of sight
Returning to the park
running and taking heed
safely tucked in nest
without any bird seed
