I saw a squirrel climb up a tree And jump to another limb Of another tree (the one by me) And I smiled up at him. He looked down at the dragon standing Under his transient perch He jumped from the tree and made a landing On the grass and soft green earth. Then he did something quite surprising-- He took out a paper and pen! I was amazed, how fast he was writing He finished his piece, and then Handed the tiny sheet to me And I began to read. He jumped up and down and I could see That a reader was what he did need. Welcome to the Pub, Mike! ![]() Hope you like it here--a friendly atmosphere, or that's what I think, anyway. Enjoy your stay! Little Spyro T. Dragon |

-squirrel's response- from branch to branch, a squirrel jumped -- not even carefully. was this squirrel mad? clear of caution? was he performing, or imagining an audience performing for him? somehow, the branches were like little wooden trampolines, giving him enough space to leap and land, leap and land. until, of course, one day broken, he fell. luckily landed brightly in a patch of dewy flowers. sticking petals like signs to his fur. he shook off the caution, reminders, being a squirrel, of course. but, as he looked up at the tree, in shadows, ready to climb again. the sun cast light across the face not of his tree, but a dragon. he didn't understand this sign either, being a squirrel, of course. and climbed straight up the dragon's back to be closer to the sun and warmth. with dew drying out of his fur, and the last bits of flower color gone, the squirrel resumed his jumping again -- jumpjumpfall, jumpjumpjumpfall, jumpjumpjumpjumpjumpjumpjumpjumpfall, on and on. Little_Spyro, that was supposed to be a thank you, but then turned into something else entirely. My head is too full of ideas. ![]() Mike |
