Nutty Squirrel

This squirrel is crunchy nuts

like Kellogs.

He's oats so crazy.

 

He makes Hammy look

placid, docile.

And with a cheeky smile

wrecks havoc on Hampshire.

 

It'll take more than a New Forest

to stop this rabid squirrel.

He subjugates snails

and bullies badgers.

 

Bonkers, he throws conkers from high trees,

laughing from a distance...

 

… because he's one nutty squirrel.

Thank you for your kind words.

I've got several animal poem ideas at the moment, it's just finding the time to write them all :)

Really enjoying the line "he subjugates snails". There's a mental image I did not anticipate!
