Thanks so much Dawn... I'm glad you enjoyed Kathy... It was much too hot in Florida, and this chipmunk really loves Michigan... I have a feeling that This Diamond will love it too when she moves here... Welcome new neighbor Noah... thanks so much for your reply... I think chipmunks can adapt to almost any climate... but this one loves Michigan the very best Michael... thanks so much for the offer of your Georgia acorns... but the Michigan ones are much tastier Linda... I'm so sorry I scared you, but that phrase "southern fried chipmunk" kept going through my head during the whole time we were in Florida, so I figured it had to become a poem  Ethel... thanks so much for your very sweet reply...  ~ hugs and acorns to allLyra |

Lyra, I guess the Colonel can relax! Such a shocking title. But I must concur. Michigan is far Superior to Florida.  Fun write. Glad you made it home okay. If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again. |

Cute poem, Lyra! I love Michigan in summer (no humidity) and I love Florida in winter (no freezing temps). Wish I could actually live in both places during these seasons. Spring and Fall are acceptable in Philadelphia, but that's about the extent of it! |

We all belong someplace, don't we, Lyra! The trick is, in knowing where. Enjoyed this, Miss Munk.... |

Hi Lyra, I've missed your poems and it's good to have you back posting. This is just so cute and precious. Hugs, Marti Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away. |

There is nothing worse than a cripy critter chipmunk! Not very pleasant to be around either! *LOL* Loved this Lyra! ((hug)) |

ChipperMunk~ As we say in Florida ... 'Though you may not be able to stand the heat ... our hospitality can't be beat !'  Give me lots of Florida Sunshine ... the hotter, the better ... We feed our ChipperMunks Orange Julius so they don't get all sweatier ! Love ya' gal~ ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

Chippymunk - no wonder you were so hot in Florida.....you forgot to take off your fur coat!! Oooops...but then you would be...umm..without clothing..he he he. I agree with you though, I can take the heat for our summer in Ontario, and then it is nice for the cool down of autumn. Enjoyed your write.

Lyra, there were chipmunks in Florida and they just about matched the palmettos for size. Good to see you home safe and writing again. Keth Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown |

Hey, we've got chipmunks down here, too, We've got raccoons and squirrels. We have snow and early birds And sun-tanned pretty girls. The chipmunks down here dress in shorts And bathe in suntan lotion. Sometimes we see them surfing by Way out in the ocean. The chipmunks want to shed their fur And sip exotic drinks. The girls all want find old guys Who'll buy them furs and minks!! |

Larry... Thanks so much for the reply... Didn't you hear about the Colonel's latest menu... It features "southern fried chipmunk" Denise... thanks so much... Yes, Michigan is wonderful in the summer, but it is also wonderful in the spring and fall and even in the winter if you don't have to drive in the snow Karilea... Thanks very much, and you are very right about knowing where we belong, and thats true for everything in life... not just geographical location! Sue... Sorry to shake you up... hmmm! Maybe I should have made it "Shake and Bake Chipmunk" LOL Marti... Thanks so much for your reply, I am going to try to be here as much as possible, but the next 3 weeks are going to be difficult because I have to be in Ann Arbor every weekday morning for radiation and in the afternoons, I have physical therapy. This weekend, we're planning to go up north to see the fall foliage... so I won't be here as much as usual for a while... but then I'll be back again... hopefully soon... Nan... thanks so much. I hadn't looked at it quite that way! Imagine a chipmunk which feeds the squirrels???? Weird, but true Kit... Thanks so much for your reply, I'm glad you enjoyed the poem. The whole time I was in Florida, that title kept running through my head because it was so hot... It was a poem begging to be written Dulcinea... thanks so much, but I guess as far as chipmunks go... crispy and well done is probably better than rare, if you know what I mean! Marge...Thanks so much for the cute verse. This is one chipmunk who absolutely loves Orange Julius and the hospitality was wonderful too Chris... Oooops!!!! We can't have any naked chipmunks running around now, can we? Keth... I think you are right, The chipmunks and the Palmettos are about the same size... Michael... I love your little poem... I can just picture a chipmunk surfing in the ocean Lyra |
