mister squirrel lives in my tree
he has a clever technique
hanging upside down
lowering himself low on the chain
which holds up the bird seed house I keep
he’s stealing seeds meant for my treasured birds
but that’s OK with me
I found a deal on a big bag of seeds
for fifty cents a pound
that’s half the going price
eat all you want my friend
so I can watch you stay happy with a full belly
the dove, blue jay, red headed, yellow chested and plain colored birds
aren’t very happy with you
but the lizards and I don’t care
for we don’t eat seeds.
