Baby Chipmunk
Please Don't Feed the Chipmunks
In the year of many dandelions~
As the violets are in bloom~
On a non-sunny day~
While a chartreuse green canary~
Sipped water from the birdbath~
The baby chipmunk was curious~
Trying to look for buried nuts~
Under a small Iris stalk~
When I spoke to him~
He ran off.
A little later~
I saw baby chipmunk venture~
Near to the fir tree~
As he inadvertently climbed~
There was danger he could not see!
Next thing I saw~
Was baby chipmunk running for his life~
Straight along the white picket fence~
As Mama Robin and Papa Robin~
Dived bomb the poor little chipmunk~
To protect their nest from~
The wee little pest!
Mr. and Mrs. Robin~
Where relentless in their dagging~
They must of seemed so large~
To the little baby coming out of it~
Lucky without scathing!
Fortunately baby chipmunk~
Escaped to a near by hole~
With new found knowledge~
Not to dare climb up that fir tree ever~
Again so bold~
And
Look before he takes on endeavors~
So bad things do not unfold!

I luv chipmunks!! Saw one in India running towards a tree trunk going into a baseball style slide and then scampering up the tree.
Had a dream about a chipmunk recently. A very good omen.
Great Shot!
This is really beautiful. Well done!

Wow everyone! Thank you so much! I am finally catching up on all your wonderful comments! The reason being I have not answered your comments recently and in a timely fashion is that I had no idea they were there, because maybe my notifications were set wrong? I do not really know? Yet I am hoping I fixed the problem by playing with the notification buttons. We shall see. But the main thing is that I can tell you how each one of your comments delight my heart and I truly appreciate them all. Have an awesome day everyone!
