For a smile as wide as a country sunrise
Happy Chipmunk Appreciation Day everyone! And Happy Friday as well! It is a beautiful, sunny and warm day again. A friend of mine took me out to get some pics today in different places which is why I was not here this morning. Some comical things happened too, a few too many perhaps. But that is for another time. This is for a poem for the chipmunks.

CHIPMUNKS
Chipmunk running across the ground,
Looking for whate’er can be found.
He stops and sees me sitting there,
And scampers o’er without a care.
Soon he is sitting on my knee,
Just waiting there so joyfully.
For he has learned to get his food,
From one sure place that’s really good.
He likes to fill his cheeks right up,
I’m sure he’d like to take the cup.
He bounces away happily,
And returns again hurriedly.
Tug on my jeans lets me know,
He’s here again, ready to go.
Peanuts he loves to take away,
Storing them for a winter day.
