Up and down the walnut tree,
The squirrels run,
Just for fun,
Collecting nuts for free.
1, 2, 3.
The 4th they drop for me.
***
From branch to walnut branch,
The squirrels jump,
Without a bump,
Collecting nuts for free.
5, 6, 7.
The eighth they drop for me.
***
Round and round for walnuts bound,
The squirrels dance,
They skip and prance,
Collecting nuts for free.
9, 10, 11.
The 12th they drop for me.
***
Squirrels full of energy,
Go from tree to walnut tree,
Collecting nuts for free,
And dropping them for me.
When they have 30
How many will there be for me?
Did you know that squirrels communicate with each other through various vocalisations and scent marking. They also use their tails as a signalling device, twitching it when uneasy to alert other squirrels of potential danger. I have seen this and it’s fascinating to watch.

A poem for kids and their parents. I had a very vivid impression of those squirrels playfully scampering. Thanks for sharing your seeds of wisdom. 🙂
