Furry thieves flee fast
Bear musk in windswept autumn air—
Acorns safe at last.

Some archived submissions ...
A squirrel in the oak took her stance,
With a twitch of her tail, she’d advance.
The dog barked and leapt,
But the squirrel just crept,
In a dizzying, wild game of chance.
“Oh puppy, you think you’re so spry,
With your barks and your jumps in the sky!
But swift as a breeze,
I dance through the trees,
While you’re left in a cloud of a sigh.”
“Just watch as I scurry and play,
You’ll never catch me, not today!
I’ll tease and I’ll taunt,
With a flick and a flaunt,
While you huff in a most comical way!”
