Little Brown Squirrel Little Brown Squirrel Little brown squirrel with the bushy tail scurries and scampers around Hunting for acorns and nuts, that have fallen upon the ground Hastening through the dried autumn leaves Leaping about from branch to tree Gathering up nuts, yet, searching for more To put away for his winter store Little brown squirrel with the bushy tail Scurrying through the leaf strewn trail Busy as a bee he nibbles and chucks Cracking through all the hard shelled nuts Plump are his cheeks, full, as he carries All the fallen nuts and berries Little brown squirrel with the bushy tail, hoards his stock deep in the core Waiting for the day, when winter comes knocking at his door Little brown squirrel with the bushy tail Hiding away from the cold winds wail He curls up his tail, in a cozy wrap And settles in, for a lengthy winter nap.
