In honor of groundhog day

NUTTY SQUIRRELS by Lin Floyd


Running up and down trees,
some can even fly between.
They scurry and hurry looking
for food to eat or store unseen.
With long bushy tails, they like
to beg and will eat anything.


They may not eat it now,
but pack it away for a later day.
Their cousins are the chipmunk,
prairie dogs, and groundhogs.
Favorite foods are nuts, junk
and anything that’s munchy.
