Hi! My name is Chester the Squirrel
and Christmas does not fill me with glee
because you humans cut down my home
to use as a Christmas tree!
I work all day and work all night...
now my precious tree is out of sight!
My home is gone! My home is gone!
Now I am homeless on the lawn!
A wicked dog here licks his lips
and has his eyes on my fat hips.
HELP!

Definitely a fine idea for helping squirrels, and I do like them very much. Thank you for coming to my contest.

Never thought about this possibility before!

So very right!
Fake trees would save a squirrel from being homeless.
I love your poem, I really, really DO!

Oh, this is too cute
You've done a very nice job putting this together. It is fun, creative and unique. Excellent work on this! Bravo!

lol awe, poor little squirrel

Actually, it is true what you are saying here: Christmas is just killing beautiful trees - they should all put a plastic one and let the real ones in the forest
Thank you for entering this contest

very cute! Squirrels are so cute.
And that's true that I guess we do cut down some squirrels (and other animals)'s homes with our Christmas trees. Very interesting idea!

haha very cute and clever - 2 tumbs up buddy

very good
This is often the case with animals; particularly at Christmas. An anthem to their frustration, definitely.
Good poem, bro. Have a Merry Christmas.hug*

What a funny poem... POOR SQUIRREL!
waaaaaaaaa! I am sorry for the squirrels, though, and that is why I put up a fake tree every year! Well, plus I am always glad to have my tree on hand for fast assembly. Your poem is so funny and made me smile plenty well!
