Up, chirp, chitter chatter
Squirrel tail goes flitter flatter

Fussing as we pass below
Peering through the leaves just so

Hurling about with great velocity
Their big eyes bright with curiosity

Busily digging, digging about
Hiding food so they won’t go without

Building homes nestled high in a tree
Safe and secure where they can see

Facing our own challenges, we can take notes
From these creative adventurers in furry coats
