The Squirrels. Poem by Gangadharan nair Pulingat..

The squirrels, and their life
I see here lot of squirrels in daytime
Their happiness, their movement
Their jumping, crawling, crying
And signals to the imminent dangers
How cautious the squirrel I witnesses
After all life is so challenging to them
They have enemies, any moment is danger
The observing cats, mongoose, even reptiles
Getting a chance, becomes preys and loss of life
I See my domestic cat a clever one
He anxiously watching the movements
And with a sudden step and jump catches one
The group of squirrels cries in loud
The poor one losses the life and becomes prey
The life of squirrels have so many lessons
In escaping from enemies, pacifying children
Climbing trees, and jumping to branches
And finally storing of nuts and eatables
The nature is given plenty of opportunities
And save them from the hunger and perish
Squirrels, I love the squirrels in mind.
