Don’t scurry squirrel, don’t hurry wren.
It’s me, I’m your faithful forest friend.
You see me daily; I know your name.
I would never think of you as game.
Don’t scamper chipmunk, don’t scatter fowl.
I am no hunter with fang wreathed growl.
I know your stripe, your quack & your song.
Be not afraid; I won’t keep you long.
I just want to hold your gaze a beat…
Nod & acknowledge your native seat.
