The October Squirrel Festival

 

For Jerry Nobles, of Happy Memory

Squirrels!

 

They’re up the trees; they’re down the trees

They swarm each other just like bees

They’re up the oak; they’re down the pine

They really need a traffic fine

 

Dachshunds!

 

Our outraged pups – they yap and bark

While chasing squirrels all over the park

Dachshunds are usual merry and curious

But with squirrels they are fast and furious

 

But not fast enough

 

Cats!

 

Tuxedo-Cat, all proper and prim

Watches the others with a face all grim
