The tail (tale) of a squirrel

The tail (tale) of a squirrel

by Erika Sage

The squirrel was searching for a nut

Because he was hungry at that time of day

He finally found his snack but,

A bird snatched it and flew away!

The squirrel was upset for losing his lunch

And decided to look instead for a seed.

He found a bunch and was ready to munch,

But a chipmunk stole them all out of greed!

The squirrel was losing patience

So he started looking again and found a mushroom

But a dog was running towards him

So he decided to leave the fungi and zoom!

The squirrel was fuming like a flame,

But he stumbled across some bread.

And he decided, out of his hunger,

That he would have a sandwich instead.
