Little Squirrel Verses

Every time I see a pretty squirrel
Scamper past me on a trail
I look for distinctive markings
On the face or bushy tail
In hopes that one lucky day
A beautiful creature I might find
That would remember being
A pampered baby squirrel of mine.
Thena

Run little squirrel
Scamper up the tree
I will be here watching
For you have a fan in me!
Thena

I saw two little squirrels
Playing on my lawn
I feed them some nuts thinking
"Tomorrow, they'll be gone."
For the next weeks they came
Seeking food from me
And then one day they returned
With their brand new family!
Thena

I love little squirrels
I feed them when I can
I know they don't realize
They can be a pain to man!
They just know they need to eat-
Don't mean to damage property or crop
And I'm sure that if they knew
How costly they can be to us
They would surely stop!
Thena

Where are you going little squirrel?
If I followed you,
What would I see?
Is your nest on the ground
Or is it in a tree?
I love the way you look
With your little bushy tail
And your cute squirrelly ways
Make me smile without fail!

Thena

One little squirrel
Said to the other
I love you bunches
Just like a brother
But you must learn
As you climb the trees
To get a good grip
Or be blown away
By the breeze.
Thena

Look at the squirrel
A wonder of nature
And a lovely sight to behold
They gather acorns
As if they were gold.
They love the corn feeders
And hang on tight
And I've never seen a squirrel
Tease another into a fight!
Thena

The squirrel is such a happy sort
Who loves to run and play
He never seems to tire
Of gathering nuts along the way.
Thena

Look at the frisky squirrels
Playing in the park
They seem to love the sunshine
For I never see them when it's dark.

How admirable is the little squirrel
So adorable in its little furry suit
I feel it must take a lot of guts
To spend your day surrounded by nuts!
Thena

If the squirrel could talk to me
I wonder what he would say-
Perhaps he would invite me
To come outside and play.
We would zip along the sidewalks
And climb up in the trees
Where we would rest a spell
As we enjoyed the breeze! Thena
