A Squirrel Fence

I once had a home I loved so much With a fence made of sturdy cedar rails It was rustic but very charming Just linked together with some nails I could look out of my picture window And watch as the squirrels ran Across the fence in excitement Ah yes, they were such a busy clan They teased and annoyed my Poodles Chattered and dropped on the dogs heads Shells from nuts that they gathered As their babies lay warm in their beds I found them quite entertaining I smiled as they went about their day Stuffing their pouches with nuts Scurrying off to put winter food away Those days are gone now, you see For my life is in a different chapter But from time to time I remember And in my mind their antics I capture!
