Little Boy
Little Boy is quite squirrely,
his tail is so very curly,
he comes every morning surely,
to get his nut breakfast early.
To say he is scared,
would understate his fear,
but he can't resist,
a Texas pecan held near.
The favorite food of,
South Texas squirrels,
he just can't resist,
like we, cheese curls.
So, he ventures inside,
to eat out of her hand.
When he nibbles her finger,
she just can't stand.
But offers him breakfast,
when he comes around.
Other squirrels only get birdseed.
They don't know what he's found.

She trained him in about four days to eat out
of her hand. The other squirrels run away if
she comes out on the deck.
