THE TALE OF A NUT

went to the woods
With trusty old guide,
Who knew every spot
Where the deer ought to hide
He picked out a rock
Near yellow birch tree,
Where | sat
While he went off to drive them to me
Not a move did 1 make,
didn't dare stir;
Not a sound but the wind
In the spruce and. the fir.
1t started to rain,
And then it rained more.
And along about noon
1t started to pour;
l sat all that day
In the cold and the wet;
No sign of buck
Or doe did l get
Till late afternoon
| heard a faint sound;
Twas little red squirrel
Running over the ground;
He was skipping along
With queer little strut,
For he held in his paws
A big shiny nut.
He tucked it away
In hole in the tree,
And then, peeking out,
Took long look at me-
He shook his small head
And his bright beady eyes
Stuck out as he stared
With look of surprise.
| was wondering then,
| am wondering yet,
AS | sat all that day,
Cold, tired and wet,
When he drew himself back
In his warm, cosy hut,
Was he thinking
That | was another big nut?
