Squirrel

Did you see the squirrel?

Racing to the tree?

Must have found a walnut

That had escaped from me

I saw the green leaves flutter

The woody branches quake


Knew he found some treasure
I'd missed through some mistake


Yet I'm glad t'was he who found it



Better he than I

For I would probably eat it

Never asking why.
