Our friend Regina’s poem

Regina had a poem published in the online ezine Kids Imagination Train – the July/August issue.

It’s great and here it is –

                                                                                                                  

                                                             A Squirrel’s Lucky Day                      

                                                                                   

I live in trees  

and on the ground.

I hunt for food

and race around.

 

We squirrels enjoy

the great outdoors,

We have big nests

and nutty chores.

 

The park is full

this time of year

with lots of picnics –

Spring is here.

 

I hope to find

some tasty scraps

like cheesy chicken

sandwich wraps.

 

A baseball game

has just begun.

Kids hurry off

to join the fun.

 

But wait! What’s that

beside the tree?

An ice cream cone

left just for me?

 

Hurry!  Scurry!

Down the branches!

Creatures don’t get

too many chances.

 

Grab it!

Take it up the tree.

Phew! I made it.

Yeah!  Yippee!

 

This treat is heaven,

cold and sweet.

Even acorns

cannot compete.

 

Why do people

stare at me?

Can’t a squirrel

have privacy?

 

So Mother Nature

will you please

make ice cream cones

that grow on trees.
