Question: Do I feel a bit squirrely!?
Squirrels
By S!.F!. Reborn


Sitting on any bench,
In any park,
Any where there are parks and benches!.
There are trees,
There are acorns,
There are squirrels!.

Little rodent messengers of the Fall,
Scavengers of nutty delights!.
Scampering as if animated,
To and fro, hither and yon,
Pausing briefly for photos,
Quickly gone again!.

What do squirrels know!?
What do they think!?
Are they a little nuts!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

I love it, Semper, as to how smart they are, you'd have to ask the ones that always seem to show up at exactly the right time every afternoon when they know I'll be dishing out a few peanuts!. One is blind in one eye, one I call "Bunny Tail", don't know what happened to the rest of it!.
They are so much fun!. As to the others, who knows, they just like the peanuts!.
It's so funny when they hang from a limb by their back feet & eat their peanut!. (~:Www@QuestionHome@Com

Like it - made me smile!. Anyone who has viewed a hyperactive squirrel in motion - can relate to the line "Are they a little nuts!?"!. I love the flick of the tail - every time they change direction!. And to hear them run across the roof of my house - is pure delight - it even gets the dog pumped up and off her bed - her bit of exercise - following them from underneath!. And to follow Granny - that photo is priceless - such an exotic species - especially liked the furry ears!. ?

Ours look like this:

LOL! This reminds me of a picture I saw on Webshots!.com recently!

Around here it's pecans - not acorns!.!.!. but the squirrels ARE indeed nuts!

We had one get in our attic - along with a mouse or two!. Finally got the roof patched - and them trapped, but for a while it was "Osama bin Loud-in-da-attic Squirrel and the Al Qeda terror-rats"!!!

Peace!.

Very cute!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.I think squirrels are part monkey, with a brain of an
elephant, as they dig and retrieve their stash of nutty foods buried in the Fall!. The hole they dig up seems deeper then the one they buried them in, they are pesty, nutty, noisy critters, but fun to watch!.
Favorite TV adv!. when they get across the road, and give a high five!.
