Analysis of Scampering Squirrels.
As I watch the scampering squirrels,
Running among the leaves,
Jumping limb to limb they go,
Throughout all of the trees,
As I stand there watching them,
I laugh each time they run,
Thinking I am they may fall,
While awaiting for the sun,
The day continues full of joy,
While the little creatures run,
Wishing I am for some strength,
If only some,
There they are way up high,
Looking down upon me,
Awaiting for their feeding,
As I lay bread down, and leave,
Every morning I say hello,
As I lay feed for them,
In seconds there they go,
Back into their den.
