Baby Chipmunk

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!
