Cyril Squirrel

Young Cyril squirrel was very cheeky
He ignored his mother when called back to a tree
His brown bushy tail was large for his age
Very easy for dogs to see

He buried nuts out in the open
He rarely did as he was told
He jumped on legs of people he saw
This young squirrel was very bold

He took one nut then hid another in his mouth
Asked for another then ran away
Young Cyril was a selfish boy
He would have to learn the hard way

One day he took a chance too many
A dog called Jack caused him to stumble
Cyril got bitten then cried to his mother
His wound slowly healed and now he was humble
