! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! A Squirrel Squeals...! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

Rating: ★2.4


On a hot noon
In mid June,
A squirrel
Races down a black
Iron pipe
Wagging her tail,

Full of energy
Squeaks
In delight,
Her ears alert
Nodding her
Head from side to side.

I watch
From my window
Lying on a soft bed,
In an air conditioned room
Feeling frail,
Just as power fluctuates...

Has God equipped
These creatures to adapt,
Or we have over taxed
Our thermostat…
and our adaptability
lies dormant...

Mamta, I've noticed squirrels too, how they seem immune to heat of 40+degs. One could say that life's not fair, but then we noticed squirrels hurry is because she is so scared, she's also shy. Bob

I am in agreement Mamtaji, this modern life requires our physical, mental and spiritual ' thermostat' - to be re-adjusted for us to live happy and free! ! 10! -Raj Nandy

a lovely poem on adaptability...the sqirrel does not complain running down a iron pipe which obviosly should be hot....i think we have pampered ourselves to this state...i think we isolate ourselves where as they associate...read my 'a listener in us' on a similar theme
