A terrible depression came over me one day,
and I sat down to watch a squirrel play.
Scittering around to and fro,
never really knowing where it should go.
It climbed a tree and barked at me,
trying to make me leave it be.
It came back down and searched around,
looking for nuts that laid on the ground.
He wedged one in his mouth
and up the tree he went,
chewing on that nut,
untill it was spent.
My melancholy quickly slipped away,
after witnessing the squirrel at play.
It seems as I lost this delusion,
I quickly came to a new conclusion.
I don't mind a squirrel
eating nuts in a tree,
just as long as they
don't belong to me...
