I'm just not sure any of us appreciate squirrels enough....
In
Praise of Squirrels
just for being out
in broad daylight
in every yard and park
prudent nut hunters
fools flinging themselves
from tree to tree
high-wire acrobats
daring over busy roads
secret diggers in the dark
harmless, fearless
minding their own bushy business
neither fierce nor tame
nobody’s and everybody’s
winsome wildlife pet
frisky whisky yes indeed
but praise be to squirrels:
how willingly they share
their neighborhood with us
