Kalamazoo Chipmunk Escapades By Paul Wilson They scurry back and forth more and more Little cheeks full of nuts and things With abandon precious nuts they store Preparing for the winter and temps it brings As days get shorter and trees lose leaves Chipmunks getting ready for winters rest Making their stash like little thieves Hiding their bounty close to their nest They climb and play within walnut trees Chasing one another round and round Amazing us with their expertise As they scamper from tree to ground Winter’s blanket coversground Trees have now lost their leaves No chipmunks to be found Snow clinging to house eaves Too cold out for man or beast Looking out window for a sign Chipmunks in warm nest with nuts do feast Furry little creatures doing fine Waking up from chipmunk dreams They start to venture out More and more each day it seems We begin to jump and shout Winter begins to lose it’s hold Birds begin to sing their song The coming of Spring…a site to behold Chipmunk’s playing all day long Lyra I hope you enjoy this [This message has been edited by Paul Wilson (10-15-2002 02:55 AM).] |

Paul, I will gladly lend you an arm so you can pat yourself on the back! This is not only a very fine piece of p-o-e-t-r-y, it was written for the sweetest little chipmunk in the whole wide world! Bravo to you!--and angel hugs to you both! Linda |

Paul, this is just so special for a little Kalamazoo chipmunk. I giggled when I read it and enjoyed it so much and I'm sure Lyra will love it. Hugs, Marti Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away. |

Thanks so much for writing a poem, Just for me, Paul... It is so adorable and so well written and it makes me feel very special... I haven't been here as much lately because I've been spending lots of time in Ann Arbor getting radiation treatments in the morning and physical therapy in the afternoon... and then when we get home in the evening, we have everything else left to do... Thank goodness for David because the radiation and the pain meds make me so tired that I just want to sleep all the time...  ~ Great big thank you hugs from KalamazooLyra |

Paul, I just knew Lyra would love this as she was reading it. I know I did. I'm just thankful that our little chipmunk "Lyra" doesn't go into hybernation all winter.  Dawn |

Thanks so much for all of the prayers, Paul... And Dawn... I don't usually hibernate in the winter, but I try to stay off the roads... It gets very slippery here in Michigan... we get lots of lake effect snow because we are directly downwind from Lake Michigan... but I might be hibernating just a little bit for the next 3 weeks or so... just busy gathering acorns and radiation  ~ loving thank you hugsLyra |

Bill...I do believe we both know the same Chipmunk. Maybe we should all get together and send her a big box of Chipmunk hugs to get her throught the Winter...Paul Dawn~ So glad you enjoyed. Come Spring time she will be doing fine This little Chipmunk friend of yours and mine Paul |
