litle grey squirrel

I’m a little squirrel some think that I’m a pest
They call us names like vermin a title we detest
Although we may be young ones we’re grey right from the start
If only we could change to brown they’d take us to their heart
They’d put us all on greetings cards at christmas and new year
Along with robin red breasts to bring you all good cheer
We try to eat the nuts you put out for the birds when our needs are dire
And even hanging upside down we can’t get through the wire
We skip along and flash our tails to impress you in the park
And you in turn release your dogs who start to growl and bark
When they chase us to the nearest tree we leave them on the ground
We sometimes wonder who ist worst the owner or the hound
