A Squirrel Poem
Our Rusty
If you go quietly into the wood
You might see our Rusty looking for food
Hazel nuts, pine nuts, sunflower seeds
Placed in a feeder supplement his needs
From a special hopper, Red Alert approved
Rusty feeds safely, and grey's are removed
Watch him in silence, he’ll let you observe
This timorous creature, we need to conserve
With grey squirrels approaching the reds border line
Our native red squirrel, is fast in decline
As an endangered species, he needs conservation
So join a support group, or make a donation
Report any sightings if you see a grey
To Red Alert North West , and help keep them at bay
