Those two squirrels

Chris Hall50 Comments

Squirrel time!

As the two of them
pranced and jumped.
What to do today?

We scoot down
from that great palm tree,
fun for us!

Ooh, so look at this.
It’s a bicycle, isn’t it,
can we jump on this?

Well, I’ve got the saddle,
and you’ve got the basket,
but no-one to pedal.

Oh, I think we need to go,
and quickly,
well, we’re just naughty squirrels,
aren’t we!

  3. Two naughty squirrels claiming a bicycle they can’t ride, one on the saddle, one in the basket, plotting their escape. And that sign right there: ‘Follow that dream.’ Chris, you’ve made the whole thing perfect. Those squirrels ARE following their dream, aren’t they? 💙 / Love & Hugs / Khadija 💕🤗

  10. This is such a charming and playful poem, Chris! I love how you captured the mischievous energy of the two squirrels—hopping onto the saddle and basket without a care in the world fits that ‘Follow That Dream’ sign so perfectly! 🐿️🚲✨
