The single squirrel
There was a squirrel that I did see,
Spent all his time in a tiny tree,
A short shrub really,
No bigger than a bush,
Everyone that saw it, thought it
was bigger than it was,
After a time the tree was trimmed,
Till nobody lived in the tree but him,
All alone with noone to hold,
The squirrel died lonely and cold,
There's a moral to this story,
As anyone can see,
Don't spend all your time in a tiny tree...
Spent all his time in a tiny tree,
A short shrub really,
No bigger than a bush,
Everyone that saw it, thought it
was bigger than it was,
After a time the tree was trimmed,
Till nobody lived in the tree but him,
All alone with noone to hold,
The squirrel died lonely and cold,
There's a moral to this story,
As anyone can see,
Don't spend all your time in a tiny tree...

I absolutely loved your write...but that poor little baby...cold and alone.
I live on a very large planet, but only allow a select few into the private world of my being.!

Anyway, that a busy city could do that to animals, to take away their basic nature, just made me so sad, at the time. OK, so I was a bit sensitive, about the squirrels. Not to worry, there are more wild and natural ones in the park, out near Crystal Palace way.
