By the Window I Watched the Awakening sun.
It Greeted me with a Glistening Glow
And sent its Light through Leafy green
As Patches on the Puddled ground.
Then Scuttling by a Squirrel I saw,
He Nibbled on the Nuts I\u2019d laid.
Outward-Looking he Watched to guard
Himself and the Nuts he Nibbled upon.
But unaware behind him came
A Kitty-Cat Creeping slow.
Her back Wiggled and Wounded up
And Right before she Reached the nibbler
I Bounded up and Burst through the door.
What an awful Craze the Critters felt!
The squirrel he Ran and Rustled away;
The cat she Screeched and Scowled at me.
And I unhappy Hero and Host,
Lost both my friends and favorite window-post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
