Walking 'round my yard, I just wanted to see, if any <br />little friends wanted company.. <br />I saw Mrs. Robin sitting in a tree, guarding her nest, <br />and her children three.. <br />She was busy at the moment, and said, ' go visit Mr. Squirrel.. <br />He just broke up with his cute little girl..' <br />I said, ' how do you do, Mr. Squirrel so blue, I <br />have some nuts, I'd like to share with you..' <br />He replied, 'keep the nuts, I don't want to be fed, <br />so please, please go, or i'll bounce one off your head..' <br />I left in a hurry to catch Mr. Rabbit, he was hopping along, <br />in his usual habit.. I said, 'hi there 'Wabbit', how do you do..' <br />He replied, 'Wabbit me again, and I'll hop all over you..' <br />As I strolled around the house, I saw the Groundhog, <br />and the Grouse.. The were both very busy, so I went <br />to see Mrs. Mouse.. Mrs. Mouse is usually home, 'cause <br />she rarely leaves the house.. She put a sign on the wall, <br />that was flapping in the breeze.. It read, ' Open House Today, <br />please bring your own cheese..' No one today wants to <br />talk or play.. I guess I'll read a book.. But first let me see, <br />if the Animals are all safe.. It's worth a second look..<br /><br />John Leroy Maxwell<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/animal-friends/
