Fluffy Visitors

Little grey friend all fluffy and cute
Scampers about in his little grey suit
Gathering nuts and othe tasty stuff
hiding it away ready for when there's not enough

Hanging upside down and doing all sorts of tricks
Getting into feeders the birds' food he nicks
Running amuck all over the place
Such a loveable rogue, such a loveable face

Some say he's a pest and should be got rid
But not our friendly Squirrel heaven forbid
He lives his own life and is entitled to that
He just needs to watch out for the big neighbours cat

We love to see him and all his grey mates
They visit us daily and empty the plates
We don't even mind if he scoffs the lot
There's plenty more in the bird food pot

How would it be if he stopped coming to feed
We won't even mind that he has a little greed
He's always welcome on our feeding tree
There'll always be food for the birds and for he

You keep on coming our fluffy little friend
We'll make sure you don't meet with a nasty end
And come the Spring when your family grows
Bring them as well and we'll be glad it's us you chose.
