Outside my window
ran the chipmunk fast,
up and down the bush;
I thought he’d crash.

But such dexterity
he easily did show;
gobbling up red berries
and then off he did go.

As I sit here, I know
he’ll be right back;
as soon as he has a
red berry hunger attack.

Voracious is a word
that comes to mind,
I’m sure this omnivore
a tasty morsel will find.

Perhaps, I should look
around the pond and yard
shouting, “Jump, my friends.”
alerting frogs to be on guard.

It’s survival of the fittest;
“dog eat dog” is a fact;
My stomach is grumbling;
This omnivore is having
a Big Mac Attack.
