Squirrel and the bird

Squirrel and bird had a fight

To eat a fruit that was just ripe

Squirrel ran up the tree to make his claim

Bird zoomed down to put up a fight

 The sound they made was a noisy squabble

 Their little fight was a visual delight

Squirrel hopped about and rebuked the bird

As a fluffy tail went up and down 

Chirping bird fluttered around with yellow wings

Ready to peck the squirrel in its stride

  The nasty brawl lasted some time

The squirrel had his way and ate his share

Hopped away to end the fight

Bird picked at the fruit and flew away

 

Farmer stood aside to see the duo fight

His toil is to feed the world man or animal it’s just alike
