Haha! Very cute. I like squirrels, and feed them peanuts in the shells (unsalted), which they are so excited to find! Nice poem, thank-you!

Squirrels are real survivors. Like pigeons, robins and sparrows, they seem to thrive in urban environments as long as there are tall trees for them to hide in. And they are wonderful. I just told my partner that I saw one chasing another last week along our wall at high speed. I'm not sure if it was fun, fight or sex. She complained of seeing only one. But there are at least two in our tree bereft neighborhood.

Lots of theories about them burying nuts. But there is a simple solution… They are planting trees. ;-)

In closing, I must admit to eating many squirrels in my youth. Mom had a way of frying them making them absolutely delicious. Maybe it was the nuts they eat, but they were much more tasty to eat than rabbits I'm sure that's what my grandfather on the family homestead survived on some winters to make it to spring.
